About this listen

Meet Steven Stelfox.

London, 1997: New Labour is sweeping into power, and Britpop is at its zenith. A&R man Stelfox is slashing and burning his way through the music industry, fuelled by greed and inhuman quantities of cocaine, searching for the next hit record amid a relentless orgy of self-gratification.

But as the hits dry up and the industry begins to change, Stelfox must take the notion of cutthroat business practices to murderous new levels in a desperate attempt to salvage his career.

Would you consider the audio edition of Kill Your Friends to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version but cannot see why there would be a difference

What other book might you compare Kill Your Friends to, and why?

Just a cracking good read, I can't really imagine what it would compare to but American Psycho with humour might be close

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I think the death of rebecca was great fun

Any additional comments?

Short, witty sharp with great observations of the male psyche

A cracking story but not for the easily offended !

Another great listen from john Niven. Brutal and also very funny. his style not unlike Irvine Walsh

Brutal and entertaining

Niven chews up and spits out Britain in the 90s. The perfect backdrop for a seedy, salacious feel-bad story where villains are heroes are indistinguishable. In a haze of thrills, pills and bellyaches.

Super sharp, sometimes cruel satire. Niven at his brutal best.

Tom Riley acts the part of Steven Stelfox perfectly and his gift for impersonations and accents is incredible. Outstanding performance !

Bloody brilliant

I must say, up until about half way through the book I still really wasn't feeling it. I just couldn't seem to get into it and found it pretty boring but after that I started to enjoy it more. When it came to the end I was really loving it and immediately started listening to the new sequel.

Slow starter

John Niven is totally ‘out there, off the scale’ with this story of a very dark mind he manages to have me shocked, cringing and laughing all at once!
I also highly recommend John Niven’s ‘second coming’, mad & brilliant

Dark and twisted humour

A despicable main character you feel guilty for cheering on. But you just can't help it. Narration really made it.

Narration top notch
