Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
You're terminally ill.
Who do you kill?
Set in a near-future America, an America that has borne two terms of a Trump presidency and is now in the first term of Donald’s daughter as president, Frank Brill, a retired small-town newspaper editor, lives in a world where the populist policies Trump is currently so keen to pursue have been a reality for some years and are getting even more extreme – an erosion of abortion rights, less and less gun control, xenophobic immigration policies.
Frank, a good man, has just been given a terminal diagnosis. Rather than compile a bucket list of all the things he’s ever wanted to do in his life, he instead has at the ready his ‘fuck-it list’. Because Frank has had to endure more than his fair share of personal misfortune. And he has the names of those who are to blame for all of the tragedies that have befallen him.
But eventually, as he becomes more accustomed to dishing out cold revenge and the stakes get higher and higher, and with a rogue county sheriff on his tail, there only remains one name left at the bottom of his fuck-it list.

MAGA
it's a great premise, but just not as bitingly black as his other books

Good book, well narrated
Very funny, though bound to offend some. if you've read/listened to John Niven before you'll know what to expect.
The narration is first class - the rendering of certain characters is eerily true to life.

Incisive, vivid, and timely
Niven expertly extrapolates all of the US's current maladies into frightening and surreal near future

Loved it! Classic Niven.
A really enjoyable ride from start to finish and the narrator’s performance was one of the best I’ve heard on audible. If you like fun but twisted stories that include political satire this is definitely for you.

Great! Classic Niven
Sweary, scary and oh-so-good! Binged it in just a couple of sessions. Not for the faint hearted. But you knew that already right?

Dark but very entertaining
Set in 2025 America during a future Trump presidential dynasty where Ivan has succeeded Donald as president after he has driven through his policies of MAGA. Alarming almost prophetic. Dark humour which has you rooting for the principal character despite his descent into revenge killings as compared to those he murders he is a a good guy at heart who has had his share of tragedy and loss at their hands. i really enjoyed the parody of Trump and the narrator got the accent and mannerisms down to a tee. great listening.

Great entertainment
Wonderful. A well crafted, entertaining read, the more enjoyable for knowing Trump didn't win another term.
It's a strange thing though, that of the dozen or so books I've read published this year, not one has mentioned Covid 19. This, set later in the 2020s, is another one. It's a bit like setting a book between 1939 and 1945 and ignoring the second is world war.

Good read...........Trump gets it
Good book lots of detail (S King style)............and a decent fast paced listen. Bonus is the ending...........if only it was true and the World was free of the Trump psycho ! Good news is. He won’t be around for ever !
