Hamish X and the cheese pirates

Sean Cullen is a very funny, very bizarre man, and this, his first book, really showcases what he's capable of. This book features orphans, sweatshops, piracy, cheese, monkeys, and many other disparate elements, all brought together with surprising coherency by Cullen's signature style of humour. Definitely worth a read, although the plot itself is rather straightforward, and Cullen definitely shows that he's a first-time author with this work.
