Great partial autobiography of a very funny comedian. I didn't realize that this was the second installment in what, most likely, will be a series since this only covered his life between 1977 and 1984. I enjoyed it anyway.
Mister Roberts starts out as a tale of British expats in bucolic Spain. Then Sayle pulls a mind-snapping narrative shift, yanking the reader into an extra-terrestrial space battle. To which the only response can be WTF?
Soon things become clearer, as a robot escapes from the battle and winds up in bucolic Spain with one of the expat kids. His mother soon cottons on to the benefits of having a human-looking indestructible robot on her arm, and prevails on her son to use him for her own purposes. Mayhem ensues.
This is an OK farce, with a few giggles. Nothing fantastic, but a diverting read.… (meer)

I found it more interesting than I thought it would be. Alexei is a gifted storyteller and makes even unfunny things funny.
