A very smart, self aware book, that disguises itself well as a pulp detective novel.

Whilst clearly being a book for adults, it's the little bits that are written as if they are for kids that endear the reader most to the style of writing, and, ultimately, the bo...more...]]> 1 2 false false Mon Apr 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 07:18:22 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 13:33:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Apr 02 15:14:57 -0700 2007 Mon Apr 02 15:45:43 -0700 2007
While this may sound like faint praise, I really do enjoy his work. It's silly, surreal, and thoroughly British; riddled with in-jokes and ex parte asides to the reader.

I read this book in a matter of hours. I couldn't put it down. It wasn't brain candy, (sweet, light, fun but if you read too much you run the risk of mental cavities), and this wasn't great literature, but it was fun, innovative & well written.
