BookInspector (124 KP) rated Dinner At The Happy Skeleton in Books
Sep 24, 2020
When I was approached by the author, I was a little bit unsure, how I am going to react to this book. Before this book, I haven’t read other books about gay guys, but because I like to read different types of books (you will not know whether you like it until you try it), I decided to give this book a go, and I had very educational experience with this novel.
The blurb above described this novel very very accurately. The main character in this novel is Dan, and the whole book was told from Dan’s perspective. I really liked Dan’s personality in this book, I think he is very believable, funny, nice person, and I would like to have a friend like Dan.
The whole narrative of this book felt a lot like a diary. I really enjoyed reading not only Dan’s present life events but also, his memories about his ex-boyfriend, who brought Dan a lot of trust issues. As a person, who knows very little about gay people’s lives, I found this book very educational. I learned about gay guys lifestyle, and it was very interesting to have an insight into how they feel. This book for me felt a lot like reading a Chick lit book, but instead of a girl telling a story, it was a guy. (I hope you get what I mean…) The whole story is flowing very evenly, and I was missing the depth in this book, some deep conflict, which Dan could battle. The whole plot of this book has very close resemblance with author’s bio down below, so I strongly believe, that there are some true facts and stories which author shared in this novel, and it just increased my curiosity, of which parts are true, and which ones are fictional.
The writing style of this book is really pleasant and I really enjoyed how Chris Chalmers portrayed all the little details about London, Dan’s personal feelings and interesting experiences. The chapters used in this novel are pretty short, so it was easy to read and it didn’t leave me bored. I would like to throw in a DISCLAIMER, that there is quite a lot of sex scenes/ talks in this book. The ending of this novel left me satisfied, as it is well deserved and rounds up this book really nicely. So, to conclude, it was a very interesting experience for me, where I got to feed my curiosity, and read some pretty interesting stories, which could’ve been based on true facts, and I do recommend to give it a try, you never know, you might enjoy it. 🙂
Was given this book by the author for an honest review.

Dec 7, 2018
It took me a while to review this book because my 8 year old got to it first and I had to pry it out of his sleeping hands to get the chance to read it myself ... I HAD to find out what had him so engrossed and giggling away.
Swat! by Mike Barfield is an educational story about Buzzter, a newly hatched fly, and Professor Hector Halfbottle teaching Buzzter about all the things that he has to avoid because basically everything out there will attempt to kill or eat him.
The book is packed full of wonderfully bright and detailed drawings and information showing the dangers to flies. The Venus Flytrap page has been sponged into the 8yr olds brain as he has gleefully spouted the information to everyone he meets about the small plant we have on the windowsill. Jumping Spiders and Archerfish have also been inspiring (Muuuummm, can you find me a video of a spitting fish?).
I would highly recommend this book for any budding young entomologist, and also to those who are teensy bit scared of spiders to show them what good things spiders can do.
You should also check out his website for extra things like printable colouring pages and fly jokes
