Hard Frost - hard to take
|
I bought this book after having seen David Jason as Frost on TV. I was shocked and offended at the sexist language and attitude to women in the written text. Frost on TV is bumbling, kind and amusing. The character I found in the book was uncouth, illmannered, sexist and thoroughly unpleasant.
I won't be trying another book in this series.

Highly entertaining with a memorably cunning misdirection in the main child kidnapping case but the other cases swirling around are also infused with imagination and character. Jack Frost's mind operates only on crime and his groin but his crudeness is skilfully balanced with his persistence and humanity.
This book formed the basis for Season 5 Episode 1 of the ITV David Jason series "A Touch of Frost."

David Jason is Jack Frost

Ex comedian David Jason has got the audio picture of this down at heel detective off to perfection.As usual this is a multi-plot story that unwinds slowly,twisting in its usuall manner. David Jason makes Mr Frost a nicer figure than in the book, and the plot is far deeper than the TV presentation. For those who like audio books, David Jasons, addaptation is a must.

Offensive but very funny, Jack Frost is a brilliant character. This book is unputdownable. Much better than the televised series. I cant wait for the next one.
