Kevin Ritchie Reviews Joost: The Man in the Mirror by David Gemmell

November 19th, 2009 by Jani

Joost: The Man in the MirrorJoost van der WesthuizenVerdict: stick

It’s the book that became an overnight cause célebre - before anyone had read it. Joost: the Man in the Mirror had the publishers announcing a sold-out first run 24 hours after releasing the book.

It seemed too good to be true for the book the big Sunday papers used to trumpet: “Joost bares all, read all about it”.

Unfortunately it was (a) too good to be true and (b) wishful thinking on the part of the sub-editors who wrote the posters.

    Did anyone else read this with glee, or am I just a nasty person?

    I plead guilty of glee.
