Some parts were funny; some parts were clever. Overall ok.

3 1/2 stars. It's like if David Wong wrote a book but was restricted to dad jokes. Trouble is, I love David Wong and I love dad jokes. I feel like with a strict editor this could have been five stars. I think I'll read another Robert Rankin now that I know his style, and I'll be able to ease into it and enjoy it some more.

typical rankin fashion.. he mixes sci-fi/fantasy and a lil potty humour..
i enjoyed this but not one of his best in my humble opinion..
still fun though

Was this at the point where RR was taking too many drugs and thinking 'barking mad' was the same as 'funny'? He was also living in Henfield, Sussex, which I don't understand. Brighton, yes; what more obvious a place for him (apart from maybe Glastonbury or Hebden Bridge)? But Henfield seems a bit too quiet and rural for ol' RR. It does have a vineyard but then neither do a lot of places. Perhaps he thought 'vineyard' was some kind of code for enormous hashish plantation.

I was entertained by the quirkiness and imagination of this story and the characters, but it tended to be a little too silly and rambling at times. I listened to the audiobook version, which helped to keep me engaged.
