"I enjoyed every paragraph of this book, to the extent that I had to go back and read paragraphs again, to take every moment in.Wonderfully written, and oh so true, amazing, not to be missed, and thank you Jack Scott, and hurry up and write the next one." Lindy Perking the Pansies has just regained the top spot on the Amazon UK bestseller list for Gay and Lesbian Travel and is number 6 on Turkey Travel Guides overall. More remarkably for a gay nobody writing from and about an obscure peninsula on the Aegean coast of Turkey, it’s number 4 on the list for Gay and Lesbian Biographies (beneath the fabulous Jeanette Winterson’s Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?). As Julian Clary would say, “I thank you”.
Throughout the book I was tittering, teary-eyed with sadness, nodding knowingly and saying, "I hear you, I hear you," to myself - and I'll even admit to a bit of sniggering, too. It's a lot of mixed emotion to go through over the process of reading a few pages and that's what makes the book such a good read. And, as I was reading the book, I couldn't help but think the characters, events, drama, comedy, sadness - they're all just shouting out to become Perking the Pansies, the TV series.
