"Work! Consume! Die!" - это книга, написанная Фрэнки Бойлом, известным британским комиком и телеведущим. В своей книге Бойл предлагает свою циничную, забавную и непристойную версию реальности, в которой мы живем. Он освещает такие темы, как безработица, экономический спад и маркетинговые ходы, используемые в современном обществе. В своем стиле Бойл не щадит никого и ничего, используя черный юмор и грубые шутки. В книге он рассказывает о таких темах, как жизнь Чарли Шина, продуктовый плейсмент в шоу X-Factor, и даже война в Афганистане. "Work! Consume! Die!" - это честная и жесткая книга, которая не оставит равнодушным никого.
Brace yourself – Frankie's novel is more outspoken than ever before. Frankie Boyle reveals your reality through his debased humor and eye-opening observations! This satiric glimpse into your life's pitfalls is the ultimate cure for your daily dissatisfaction:
"Charlie Sheen's life is spent in drug trips and spending time with porn stars who would make great cinema legends if only they would appear less ridiculous."
"The next X Factor series will only be good entertainment if the brand placement ads are obvious."
Despite the bleakness of our times, Frankie assures us there's hope:
""Raw magazines are making a comeback. Soon storage will be used only to store tame pornography rather than all the child pornography stashed away now where it can't be found." Make porn great again!"
Work! Consume Die is a dose of cold comfort and guaranteed belly laugh or two.

Описание книги от Frankie Boyle
Brace yourself for Frankie’s novel, he’s more outspoken and brilliantly inappropriate than ever.There are fears that this year could see the start of a double-dip recession, or worse still a double-dip-with-misery-sprinkles and f**k-where’s-my-job?-sauce. Why not chuckle into the howling void as taloned fingers reach up to consume you with Frankie Boyle’s book, Work! Consume! Die!In Work! Consume! Die! stand-up comedy's favourite pessimist, Frankie Boyle, offers his outrageous, laugh-out-loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it. He describes your reality as viewed through a bloodshot eye pressed against a shit-smeared telescope, focused on hell:• ‘Charlie Sheen’s life consists of going on huge drug benders with groups of porn stars. If he straightened himself out he could have a really mediocre career as a bit-part Hollywood actor. Playing the role of Martin Sheen’s corpse. He’s crazy like a fox! And also actually crazy. What a tragic waste, not being Charlie Sheen is. How majestic it will be for him to die, possibly quite soon, knowing that when they make a movie of his life, it will be a porno.’• ‘The X Factor will be allowed to show product placements. That’s powerful advertising. Last series I realised that looking at the judges alone had made me subconsciously buy a gnome, a scrag-end of mutton, a vacuous mannequin and a suspected gay.’• ‘The Taliban are running out of bullets. Operation ‘Get our troops to absorb them with their bodies’ is finally paying off. The Taliban are finding it impossible to get hold of essential supplies – at last we’re fighting on equal terms. But let’s not get complacent. Just because they’re running out of bullets we mustn’t assume our boys won’t get shot. Remember, the US troops have still got plenty.’A no-holds-barred tour de force of comic writing, Work! Consume! Die! is Frankie Boyle at his brutal, taboo-busting best. This is nothing more or less than the clanging call to arms of a dying mechanical God.
