LIFE LESS ORDINARY, A - Faber

Jackson and O'Reilly are assigned. This will be their toughest mission, and possibly their last. Their targets are Robert , a regular working guy, and Celine, a supper-rich girl. They have nothing in common and could never expect to meet, but fate has ordained their match . There is no restriction on the methods to be used: kidnap, gunfire, bankruptcy, bomb threats, tequila slammers, bank robbery, informal dentistry, and even the writing of love poems are all permitted. It is only the result that matters. And when, finally a heart is pierced by an arrow, then we shall know that Love has been saved. A Life Less Ordinary is a romance, a drama, and possibly a meditation on some of those big fat questions of life and love that swirl around us in our waking hours. John Hodge's writing has all the originality, imagination and humour that characterised his screenplays for Sallow Grave and Trainspotting.
