This title manages to relate three seemingly unrelated facts: a town council which has promised a million pounds to the least exciting park in Morecambe; 18 year-old Teena Rama who is 148.7% too beautiful; and Mr Landen who has no brain.
I do prefer this one to its predecessor, which was an excellent book in its own right. It seems more anarchic and free-ranging and does introduce the characters Roddy McDoddy and Cthulha Gollagochgoch to the series' universe. Did I spell that right? I don't have a clue but I know she's not a woman I'd ever dare turn my back on. Again, it's very funny, and gets through more ideas than most writers use up in a lifetime. It's thanks to this book that I now know just how easy brain surgery is and why you should never buy dinosaur DNA from a corner shop.
