“Everything must come to an end, especially nonsense perhaps.”
But it was good kind of nonsense. Funny. Sweet. Highly plot-driven. The right amount of absurd.
“Allan considered that in general it was quite unnecessary to be grumpy if you had the chance not to.”

Interesting book. I liked it but didn`t love it. Worth a read.

An amusing and pointless romp perfectly suited for beach reading.
