Meet Five, the lead singer of the Romford Bombers, a Gary Numan act band.

Life is not easy, even if you are a singer. Five knows this well. Next to being a singer, he takes care of his family, cooking for them, strictly vegan menus, and he is a walking pharmacy, with all of the notes , who needs what medication. Things get more bad, for the already depressed Five, when his girlfriend, Tina, leaves him. For Ross, the leader of the Storm Troopers, a rival band. And the Numan Tribute Battle Of Bands is also coming... But Five and the Bombers are ready fight to win the contest. Or not? Can things get even worse?

Nicky Blue's Numan Versus Numan was a dark comedy, which made you laugh, sad and in the very end surprised. No matter, how much you feel sorry for the characters, you can not help smiling on the situations. I quite liked, that next to changing of point of views, the book had pieces from Five's diary, and messaging between the characters. Through these, I felt closer to the characters and the whole story felt more alive for me. They just spiced it.
Another thing I really liked, was Five himself. I admired his determination and that he never gave up. And yes, the ending was really good! As the story moved faster and faster, I had my guesses, what will happen, but in the end it surprised me.

Shortly, Nicky Blue's Numan Versus Numan is a dark comedy worth to read. Next to the plot, which keeps you curious, what will happen to Five and his band, the story is spiced with the right amount of comedy, drama and surprises, without becoming cliche. I can recommend Numan Versus Numan to everyone, who likes dark comedy, or just searching a good book.
