These humorous recollections celebrate the larrikin spirit through everyday adventures, youthful bravado and the particular bonds formed when friends get themselves into difficulty. Beneath the irreverence lies an appreciation of loyalty and resourcefulness, as the stories move from one comic predicament to another without pretending that success always follows a sensible plan. Dean Turner's illustrations complement the author's conversational storytelling and its taste for the absurd. Good Bastards offers a lively collection for readers who enjoy earthy humour, recognisable characters and memories of the trouble people can create while confidently expecting everything to turn out well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68097969389780,"sku":"TVJ-035709","price":4.6,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-035709-1.jpg?v=1793070075","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/good-bastards-the-larrikin-s-guide-to-success-sweeney","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
