The hilarious new comic fantasy novel from the most inventive writer in the field.From the moment the first Homo Sapiens descended from the trees, possibly onto their heads, humanity has striven towards civilisation. Fire. The Wheel. Running Away from furry things with more teeth than one might reasonably expect - all are testament to man's ultimate ascendancy.It is a noble story, a triumph of intelligence over adversity and so, of course, complete and utter fiction.For one man has discovered the hideous truth: that humanity's ascent has been ruthlessly guided by a small gang of devious frogs.

The closest comparison I can come to the absurdity of the plot is probably Douglas Adams... that's not to say the writing is as good or the absurdity is as entertaining, but in a pinch, when you've read Hitchiker's Guide 5 times already, try this.
While I found parts of this book amusing, especially David's interactions with the clones and the frogs, I felt that the storyline was repetitive at times and was sometimes hard to follow.
