Dodgy Mike by Michael Yiannoudes. This is the story of Michael. Dodgy Mike features real, witty, comical stories about family, friends, rebellious youth, teenage pranks, travels and adulthood. The anecdotes are reminiscent of a John Hughes classic filled with a little nostalgia for those 1980s' kids. They are tales you can relate to but also the types of stories you can never imagine happening to you. They are laced with mirth and familiarity. It includes humorous stories of his time in the video and Cinema industry. You will find yourself travelling to Europe and meeting an axe man, jumping over a fence over a girl in a classic Romeo and Juliet parody, saving the city of Paris, crashing your car more than once, cheating in a marathon and nearly facing expulsion for egging an entire university campus. These stories will capture your hearts with the authenticity and uniqueness of the characters and experiences that you will remember for a long time. Michael is the lost storyteller of past and current generations.
