Reviews with the most likes.
“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.
Enjoyed this to a certain extent but I found it just seemed to waffle in places. There were some funny bits but to be honest I think I must have lost most of the humour as it went missing for me!
An amusing and pointless romp perfectly suited for beach reading.
