Interesting book. I liked it but didn`t love it. Worth a read.
Enjoyed this to a certain extent but I found it just seemed to waffle in places. There were some funny bits but to be honest I think I must have lost most of the humour as it went missing for me!
An amusing and pointless romp perfectly suited for beach reading.
“Everything must come to an end, especially nonsense perhaps.”
But it was good kind of nonsense. Funny. Sweet. Highly plot-driven. The right amount of absurd.
“Allan considered that in general it was quite unnecessary to be grumpy if you had the chance not to.”
