PANIC AND THE INNER MONKEY
£7.50 from the online store »
Synopsis
An inventive novel about a man, George Harwood, dealing with modern life while suffering from panic disorder and anxiety.
We live in a strange, complicated society and navigating our way safely through our lives is difficult. Sometimes it's best to get your head down and just keep moving. But Harwood's afflictions mean he has little choice but to stop and look up at every step of the journey, and analyze. Over-analysing is Harwood's biggest burden, but it also arms him with a great deal of information about our culture and how to cope with it. To eavesdrop on Harwood's inner chatter is to gain new insight into a world that's funny, shocking, and occasionally immensely rewarding.
Reviews
Spontaneously bought and read this after stumbling across it online. A completely different slant on the self-help book... in fact it isn't preachy in the slightest. Hendy avoids a pushy attempt to 'help' the reader. Instead, the writer simply puts his own experiences and personal thoughts forward in an enjoyably witty manner. His own inner monologues are surprisingly familiar and this is enough.Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. I've already passed it on to my friends

Synopsis
This is what happens when someone tries to write a book... You must write about what you know, but what if all you know is a lie? A student finds himself with blood on his hands, an author counts the cost. The lines between reality and fiction are blurred, as a writer finds that the only way out - is to rewrite the past. Manipulation for a common goal - to survive. When the lies become too easy, it's time for change.

That was quite a powerful read. I normally don't read anything the whole way through in one go. I read in bits and pieces. Some of it made me feel anxious and sick. Some of it was exciting.
