Robert Rankin is what would happen if a freak accident combined Christopher Moore and Neil Gaiman. Brilliant.

To be honest, I think this book deserves closer to 3.5 stars. I couldn't quite bring myself to give it 4 stars, though, so I rounded down.
It's good, not great. The story is unique and interesting. The characters are well-drawn out. Overall, I enjoyed it and I will give Robert Rankin another go.
What made it impossible for me to give it that 4th star was the over-the-top 1950s-esque American detective story style that roughly half the book is written in. I found it very difficult to stomach.
As I said the Icharus Smith chapters were good, so I'll give Rankin another chance. But hold the Lazlo Woodbine, please.
