DEGENERATE FLOOSIES…DASTARDLY GERMAN SPIES…DIRTY OLD MEN…SOPWITH CAMELS…AND A VIRGINAL HERO AND HEROINE WHO ARE ENGLAND’S ONLY HOPE….

1918. England faces defeat. Germany looks set to triumph. Only one man and one woman can save England.
Wriggles is the Royal Flying Corps’ greatest ace. Can he prevent a dastardly German spy ring from getting top-secret information out of France? Is he completely out of his depth in a world of devilish scoundrels, and flouncing, unashamed, near-naked scarlet women?
Britt, his childhood sweetheart, is working as a nurse at a hospital near Paris. Forever pining for the lost innocence of her childhood, she too has problems. Adrift in a world of dirty old men and dissolute hussies, she is fast approaching mental breakdown. She finds purpose in life as a slayer of German spies. Convinced as she is that German male spies have snakes growing out from between their legs, they are quite easy to identify. Another obsession of hers is to discover what Wriggles has between his legs...
As well as twists and turns of plot, exciting aerial combats, and a host of characters, from the suave, bollocks-obsessed Major Mullen to sexy, black-haired, pouting Marianne casting amorous eyes over our virginal hero, there unfolds (in the story of Britt and Wriggles) one of the greatest love-stories ever told. Will it end happily, or will Wriggles end up with a bullet through his head, and Britt strait-jacketed in a mental institution?
This is a novel of sexual and martial comedy, with no-holds-barred excitement and thrills, and more. It explores two flawed individuals who, heartbreakingly unable to come to terms with an adult world, begin to draw closer and closer together and discover feelings hitherto unknown to them. It is a sympathetic portrayal of two children trapped in adult bodies, and how one of them, Britt, tries to dig her way out of her schizophrenic nightmare with a courage and determination which deserves to succeed…
Will Britt manage to save herself..? And will Britt and Wriggles save England..? Will they find true love? Or does death and madness await them in a world dominated by Germany and its depraved supporters?

A bawdy, irreverent salute to the British spy thriller

Reviewed in India on 24 January 2015

With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Alan Hardy takes the reader on a raucous romp in this send-up of a British spy thriller. Set at a critical turning point in WW I, the heroic fly boy, Wriggles, is hard at work, nary taking a moment to pause. Wriggles does not just blast evildoers from his perch in the sky, as an ace pilot. On the ground he ferrets out German spies, wherever they may be; many of them half-clad women. About midway through the book my mind cast Peter Sellers into the role of the naive protagonist, filled with vim and vigor, in his pursuit of Britain's enemies. Wriggles' relationship to his quirky, beyond innocent, childhood friend, Britt , keeps this from being a flat out British farce. Still, by the end of the book I was pretty much seeing Peter Sellers in all the roles. Characterizing this book as a bawdy, irreverent, salute to the spy thriller genre is about as close as I can get to describing what's in store for the reader who wanders into the world according to Wriggles & Britt [aka Alan Hardy]. If you want to find out more you'll just have to pick up the book and read it for yourself. A well-written book from this author with a distinctive voice.

Excellent book

Reviewed in India on 19 June 2014

Britt by Alan Hardy is a complex and engaging novel, with an excellent historical background and a top quality and seducing love story.
The key of this book for me was Britt’s mind. I couldn’t stop reading about her childhood’s problems, about her wishes and her pains. She’s an amazing character and the Author introduces the reader inside her mind in a great way. I hardly felt a character so close…
The love story is truly heart-breaking. I had so mixed feelings. I waited and felt happy and cried and was astonished.
Alan Hardy's historical background is outstanding. I like historical novels and I was very impressed by how his settings have all elements to make them real and interesting.
This was a great read for me and I’ll definitively read more books by this author.

Delightful and thrilling!

Reviewed in India on 19 May 2014

What a great story! I’ve read a couple of Alan Hardy’s books before and grabbed this one as soon as it came out. I was expecting a lot, based on my previous experiences with Alan Hardy’s books, and I got even more that I had expected. Great book! Loyal to his style that transcends genres, Mr. Hardy’s latest book is historical fiction, mystery, romance, comedy, and more. It’s exciting and unpredictable, keeping the readers reading and guessing all the way through.

The main story is focused on Britt and Wiggles, a nurse and an ace pilot, who are determined to save England, find love, and escape insanity (at least in Britt’s case). Britt and Wiggles are not just protagonists, they are heroes of this novel, larger-than-life and admirable in many ways, but with weaknesses that make them real and appealing. As they struggle to accomplish their goals, they learn a lot about themselves and the world around them. That aspect of the novel feels like a unique coming-of-age story. A wonderful book written with a fantastic sense of humor. Highly recommended!

A wonderful read. A future classic

Reviewed in India on 21 May 2014

Britt is a historical fiction and action spy thriller set in France toward the end of World War I but at the heart of the story is a very unique and special romance. Although there is plenty of humor and sex in this story, it is not a “light-hearted” book. The two main characters, Wriggles and Britt have been emotionally bound together since childhood. But as they have grown into adults, they have remained as innocent as the two children that used to play with dolls and put on little plays for their parents. They can kill enemies with zero remorse one minute and think and act as children the next minute. Their innocence goes far beyond just being honest and pure in thought. They really are children in adult bodies.

As their characters develop, you get the impression that perhaps they have been so completely consumed by each other that they have not seen the rest of the world spinning by. In a sense, they have been in love with each other, all their lives. They are so innocent they have no knowledge of human sexuality so when they are sexually attracted to each other, they don’t actually understand what they are feeling and they have no idea how to act on those impulses.

This is wonderful and thought provoking character development. Creation of a romance between a man-boy and a schizophrenic woman-girl is something I’ve never seen done before but amazingly, author Alan Hardy pulls it all together and cleverly weaves the relationship between Wriggles and Britt into this non-stop action adventure.

This was the third book I’ve read by Alan Hardy and it is proof that Hardy is a versatile and multi-dimensional author who can change styles without missing a beat. Britt is a superbly written in wonderfully colorful language. As I read through it, I couldn’t help visualizing it as a “classic” movie or mini-series but alas, Hollywood rarely recognizes greatness. Read this five-star novel to see and feel a future classic.

Really great!

Reviewed in India on 11 November 2014

This is what I call an entertaining read. It has a bit of everything – humor, history, romance, espionage, mystery, and more. But mostly, BRITT by Alan Hardy, is a wonderful story, beautifully written. Britt, the main character, is “interesting” to say the least. The whole group is an oddball cast and they are thrown together marvelously. Anyone who likes a thrilling story told with humor will love Britt. Highly recommended, five stars.

Entertaining

Reviewed in India on 19 April 2015

Alan Hardy has become my new favorite writer. Maybe because I grew up in England and can really appreciate his perspective on all things British. He takes stock situations that are typically British and adds a healthy dose of cynicism and raunch. I love Wriggles, his version of Biggles. Hilarious

Massively Entertaining

'Britt' is a unique love story set against a back-drop of war and espionage as childlike main characters Wriggles and Britt attempt to save Britain from the German threat.

I've read three of Alan Hardy's books now and I have to say each one of them is vividly imprinted in my memory and I don't imagine they will ever fade. This author has a brilliant way of pulling together outrageous ideas and madly blending genres to create something truly unique, thought-provoking and memorable. 'Britt' is a prime example of this with it's impressive combination of action, thriller, mystery, romance, humour and historical fiction. The imagery contained in this novel is strong and used to great effect, often for comedy. The story is entertaining and moves along at a fast pace with some well timed shocks and thrills packed in.

The characters were deeply flawed and I found them tremendously entertaining from start to finish. Their childlike innocence was unexpected and the contrast between this naivety and the easy brutality of the killings added well to the shock factor. Britt was an unpredictable character and this made for some very tense moments where I honestly didn't know what she might do as it seemed like she could be capable of anything.

Overall this is a massively entertaining novel containing a rather unusual romance story, full of laughs, shocks and edge-of-seat moments. 'Britt' is yet another brilliant novel from Alan Hardy. If you have not yet tried one of his books this would be an excellent one to begin with. A word of warning though, they are insanely addictive!

Great entertaining reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2014

Britt by Alan Hardy is a fast paced spy thriller set in France during World War I.
It's funny to me to see a British author telling about stories set in France, but Mr Hardy masters it brilliantly.

The story is about a couple, Britt and Wriggles, two childhood "friends" bonded forever by a sort of sentimental feeling. Britt suffers from a form of schizophrenia that makes things even more twisted along the plot flows.
Britt and Wriggles are involved into a complicated, sometimes funny attempt of stopping a German spy acting in their territory. Among suspense scenes and a bit of mystery, Britt and Wriggles will start a kind of love story that will merge with their childhood heritage.
It's fascinating to see how adults could turn into kids again while overwhelmed by memories and aspects/elements belonging to their own past and love.

I cannot tell you if Britt is more a crime/spy novel or a romance suspense story, but it doesn't matter at the very end. Britt is an enjoyable novel which I highly recommend to any avid readers looking for a entertaining story with a hint of comedy inside and a sparkle of romance. The ability of Mr Hardy as a storyteller makes the rest.

Brilliant Britt

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2015

Britt by Alan Hardy takes the reader to new heights in bawdy humour Blackadder-style. I have to admit the author not only excels with his vigorous display of poking fun at conventions but I truly believe he has pipped Tom Sharpe as Britain's best comedy author.
In a total turnaround, England faces defeat in 1918. Germany looks set to triumph and only one man and one woman can save England.
Wriggles never flies undone and is so Rik Mayall/Blackadder from Blackadder Goes Forth without the sexual know-how. He is our ace pilot and spy hunter and is all there is to stop the Hun from ruining old Blighty. To help we have his childhood sweetheart Nurse Britt a somewhat mentally unbalanced individual if there ever was. Can these two quirky people take on fiendish spies with more cleverness than a clever thingy? Can they save England? Can Britt ever find out what wriggles between Wriggles' legs? Read and find out.
I haven't had this much fun since the last Alan Hardy novel Very highly recommended.

Well I never! I wasn't quite sure what to expect until I had my first laugh out loud moment...

Set in France with Wiggles shooting down anything that resembles the enemy, even during the throws of passion with the French symbol of freedom,(poor woman never seems to catch a break!) this wonderful first world war spy caper had me turning the pages ever faster...the naivety of the Hero and Heroine of the plot is quite sweetly disturbing and gets wonderfully gory and eyewateringly painful towards the end. Britt's epic attack on Dr. Goole's pet snake had me guffawing into my tea!

With codes to break and spies abounding in every corner of France, Britt and Wiggles set forth to save Britain and boy, do they do it well.

Recommend for an afternoon of of smiles.

Britt great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2014

Britt is a great story, strangely set in France even though it's name I expected something else. I trust Alan though he's a great writer. Anyway Britt and wriggles are two childhood friends of sorts. It's not without it's problems though as Britt suffers from some kind of mild mental problem.
The two get involved with the often amusing escapade of stopping some kind of German plan, trying not to give to much away here but it's good none the less. Their bond grows also and they get into a strange relationship with flashback of sorts to their childhood.
A good mix of spy and romance story with Alan's usual twists and turns thrown in loved this very much since my fiancee was away this weekend i read it all in one day/night, very enjoyable.
