  Muttering to a friend I needed a good laugh in these troubled times, he handed me this book. He told me if I didn’t think Justin’s story matches the blurb, I should chuck it in the fire.
  
  I must admit when I read the blurb I scoffed, I’m skeptical about the merit of blurbs. However, from the moment I opened the book, I was hooked! There are so many hilarious situations that Justin has to endure. From his first enforced tryst with a monstrous randy school teacher, to kidnap by women bank raiders disguised as gorillas, being chased in the moonlight by a chocoholic brown bear... a side-splitting police identity parade, and many more.
  
  Not to forget the indefatigable Tobacco Kate!
  
  Obviously, the book never ended in the fire.

  What a story!
  
  Justin had never heard of an exploding jockstrap until he was taken hostage by a gang of crazy women bank robbers. There are so many hilarious unpredictable challenges he faces, you eagerly turn pages to satisfy yourself, he’ll survive until the next arrives.

  I,d chose to take this book with me on my recent caravan holiday. On the second day with the weather atrocious, I sat in my comfortable armchair and read Justin’s story from cover to cover.
  
  Justin’s a good-looking 22-year-old lad who excelled in all sports at his school. However, with Millicent a dedicated chaperone. He remains a virgin. When a mysterious American arrives at their front door Millicent is enchanted by his smile, stature and casual drawl. Within days with Justin’s family home on the market, Millicent and Hiram head for America, shortly to be followed by the proceeds from the sale of Justin’s house…. his inheritance.
  
  Unfettered, Justin dressed casually for the first time in his life hits town. The moment he reaches the top of the stairs to the Boomerang Club with a blast of music, he enters another world.
  
  A kaleidoscope of experiences mingles into one. He’s imprisoned in a police cell, subjected to an identification parade, loses his virginity to a huge schoolteacher, and abducted by a gang of crazy women thieves who compete in a terrifying competition to own him. Between laughs, you wonder whether Justin will last whatever path he’s racing down.
  
  I thoroughly recommend this book. The atrocious weather outside was furthest from my mind as I joined Justin, and laughed the day away.

  After reading ‘From Dingle with Love’ I was looking forward to reading Michael Saint’s book ‘Justin at Large’. What a hilarious read and not what I was expecting, but thoroughly enjoyed this book!

  When I started reading I was wondering when Justin would make an appearance. Then learning how the Black Widow gang treated their victims and asked who would be their next victim I had an idea it would be poor old Justin....and how right I was.
  
  The twists and turns in this delightfully funny story with short chapters make it a cracking holiday read.

  Justin’s usually boring Sunday morning orchestrated by Millicent, his domineering mother, ended abruptly when a tall handsome American knocked on their front door. Raising his Stetson, and introducing himself, Millicent’s mind was instantly consumed with lust. Wishing a couple of days, with her cases packed, 22-year-old Justin was cast out of her life, free to pursue whatever he desires. But what did he desire? He didn’t desire the mayhem that raced in his direction. Life became blue with so many bizarre events. No longer a virgin after a tryst with a huge school teacher, two of her schoolgirls are hidden in a wardrobe recording the event. Then as he gasped for breath, they took measurements of his body’s most interesting features for a zany project their form at school was researching to calculate the size of a male’s wee room before the event. To be challenged clad in medieval armour by a psychopath to win a lodging enabling him to remain incognito until he could arrange a passport and visa. Flying to America, he planned to pursue his mother and persuade her to hand over some of the money from the sale of their house. However, he was swiftly kidnapped by a gang of women bank robbers disguised as Gorillas and introduced to Tobacco Kate!
  
  These were just a few of the challenges he was forced to overcome.
  
  This is a hilarious story, well worth distancing yourself from the world with only Justin on your mind. Enjoy the ride!
