MadStockBroker Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Most of Steve's mates are in is books at one time or another. I was in one but I got blown up in a car bomb..... As for PD well it is 99% true in that the events did happen. Only the shooting at the end is pure fiction. THe book is prity much the sameas the original manuscript but was edited somewhat to tone it down. Also the receipies were thankfully removed!

Flashermac Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Christopher Moore uses a lot of genuine bar dialogue in his books, almost word for word. Helps to have a great memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met SL a few months back and he claimed it was based on a true story that happened to him. Seemed like a nice fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
