    <body><![CDATA[I was somehow sure <em>Eeeee Eee Eeee</em> was a comedy: talking bears and dolphins, killing of famous guests, colour-happy cover and a weird and intriguing title. It actually is a rather depressing book about emptiness, feeling empty and having no purpose in life. Each character - including the beasts - is either depressed or about to die.<br/>As for the form, it is not so much a novel as poetry in a form of a novel, which I always find hard to get into whoever the author is. <br/>If you feel adventurous though, it is a quick enough read. And one which manages to make  bears, dolphins and even hamsters exasperating which is a strange and new feeling to me.<br/><br/>]]></body>
