What a lovely surprise to come home from work & find a book from my wishlist waiting for me!
Thank you so much for this Ekranda, I do enjoy Tony Hawks' books as you know & I'm sure this one will be no exception. I'm putting you on my "Wall of Fame" (well, it's a thank you list really!)

It's 1988 and radios across the land blast out the Top Ten hit "Stutter Rap" by Morris Minor and the Majors. The man behind the fake moustache is Tony Hawks.
Fast forward to the 21st century and those heady days of pop stardom are a distant memory. That is, until it is suggested that Tony is just another One Hit Wonder. Really? We'll have to see about that. For two years Tony struggles to have a hit somewhere—anywhere—in the world, changing acts and styles with a bewildering lack of integrity.
From Nashville to Amsterdam, from Eastern Europe to Africa, he travels the globe in search of that elusive hit. But it's only after a chance encounter with actor Norman Wisdom that things get really strange. Is it really possible that together they could storm the Albanian charts? In One Hit Wonderland anything can happen...
Brilliant...a funny & entertaining read...what more can I say? The only disappointment is that I can't seem to get on www.onehitwonderland.com to hear the songs...will keep trying!
