The way the character is established, and the way his story is told, is fantastic. As a lesson in first person character development, and how to "hide the I", I strongly recommend it for writers. We are made to care about a character who is amoral, mainly because he's so good at what he does, which is conning people.Sadly, once most of the back story is established, we're left with a pretty tedious 'battle of minds' between the protagonist and the person who is mentally assessing him. Only the other guy doesn't seem that interested and Prot doesn't seem that bothered about it. The stakes are fairly low, since Prot is a bit of a bum anyway. If he goes to prison, so what? Why should I care about how this boring present-day storyline unfolds, when all it does is get in the way of the slightly more interesting back story (intercut) and then fizzle out towards an ending that was literally unmemorable to me? It's interesting as a glimpse into the world of a conman and how he might pull of his tricks. Take that away and the story is as dull as my faded brown suede shoes.Tip! Give us a reason to care about the protagonist's freedom. Give him a secret child he needs to provide for, or a heartfelt promise he needs to keep, or a burger joint he always wanted to try. Otherwise I'm bored and will then write this review.6.5/10David 'Now I know how to forge a certificate' BrookesAuthor of 'Cycles of Udaipur' ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ STOP LAUGHING AT POLITICIANS AND GET INTO SOME REAL HUMOUR HERE *by E***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 March 2017* Now,,, um,,, if you,,,um,,, put the essences of Billy Connelly, Groucho Marks, and Woody Allen into a 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' world you might be approaching the whacky wonders that Craig Clevenger has conjured up in this truly fantastic book. I don't know if being non-conformist yourself helps but having experienced an alternative lifestyle would definitely enhance your enjoyment of the anti-hero Daniel Fletcher's predicaments in this literary adventure. There are a shed-load of authors, film directors, etc 'bigging' this book up and it deserves all their praise. Read it before they turn it into a more censored film version. This book is a tonic for the mind and makes me laugh at all the fabulous absurdities captured therein.Eamonn ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ That can't be the ending... it can't be! *by J***J on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2017* This is a fantastic read, it creeps in to the back of your mind and just niggles away until you finish it.It's essentially a story about a man who gets headaches and falls in love but it's so much more than that. There is so much unsaid and hinted at that the darkest corners of your mind rushes to fill in the blanks. It's a work of artOne star deducted for the ending but that's more out of frustration than a genuine complaint as Tammy I know it couldn't have ended any other way --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/51257585-the-contortionists-handbook](https://www.desertcart.be/products/51257585-the-contortionists-handbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
