| Publisher Description: "Rent Boy" is the hilarious tale ofPete May'shousing odyssey through a world of asbestos-ridden tower blocks, pink shopping centers, flying vases, arrests in the council chamber, evictions, changed locks, cockroaches, mice, overflowing loos, withheld deposits, designer broom cupboards, inept DIY, and endless queues outside any room advertised in the Standard. Pete May has measured out his life not in coffee spoons but endless boxes humped up endless stairs to endless top floor flats. From Turnpike Lane to West Kensington, Hammersmith, Parsons Green, Fulham Broadway, Camberwell, Neasden, Westbourne Park, Victoria, Elephant, and Castle and Highbury, he has fallen off a different rung of the property ladder in just about every part of the metropolis. "Rent Boy" is the perfect property antidote for the "Hello " generation." |
