Nowhere near as good as Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse. Liked the idea of using the Air-Loom gang as a plot device, but some of the plot was just crazy. Rankin seems overly fond of the word 'jobbie' in this book which annoyed me. ( )
Would this book be more enjoyable had I come to it cold, knowing nothing of Rankins previous work to which he makes so many references herein? I suspect not because the mainstays of the comedy is the use of absurdly overwrought running gags and a kind of silliness that is independent of its subject. The mystery structure is the critical weakness however because the solution was clear to me by the middle of the novel and the repetitive silliness lost its appeal without the engine of the puzzle driving it along.

Rankin's oddball wit and humour occurs in droves in this wacky book about, no surprises, the forthcoming Armageddon. What it lacks is plot. The da-da-de-da-da Code is an amalgamation of old gags, renamed old characters and references to the plethora of Rankin books that paved the way to this one. It might even be suggested that Rankin just made this up as he went along, since that's how it reads. Yes, the trademark gags are here and there is some fresh material, however as a whole the book is tired and mostly redundant. ( )
Latest slice of lunacy from the master of madly humorous fantasy. Doesn't rely on catch phrases as much as some of his later works. Nice twist on the Sunset Boulevard theme of the hero floating dead at the start, then we backtrack. ( )
