This book slipped under my radar. I really liked Kill Your Friends but I only discovered The Amateurs when I was looking for The Second Coming on amazon.
The Amateurs is a comic novel set in Ayrshire. It tells the story of a man who is obsessed by golf despite being very bad at it. The comedy is in broad strokes. It's possibly not as good as his other two novels but I enjoyed it. I grew up in Lanarkshire and I worked in Ayrshire for a while so the setting and characters were real enough for me.
This is a good book to read on a plane (which is where I read it). It's not too demanding.
