Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. The sixth book in the Brentford Trilogy and another re-read. In which Jim Pooley and John O'Malley become the managers of a rock band called Gandhi's Hairdryers, while Soap Distant returns from the world below to find that history has changed but nobody else seems to have noticed. Not one of the better books in the series. Telling the story of a band with a lead singer with a healing voice, and the lifes of the residents of brentford, thisfor me is Rankin at his very best. For any fan of music, this book will become even funnier as you realse just how much of the book is based around the music business. one of the few books that has made me cry with laughter. Theres plenty of good news about Sex, Drugs and Sausage Rolls. It has a clever plot. It is genuinely funny at times. It's complex, yet (mostly) the author tries to ensure you keep up. It's in touch with modern culture and isn't scared to be daring. It doesn't overstay it's welcome either, punchy and (mostly) to the point. Here comes the however. The writing style is inconsistent at times as Rankin steps out of storytelling to tell the reader things directly - it makes reading slighting uncomfortable when it happens. There are some gaping holes in the plot, which Rankin is clearly aware of and makes no apology for. Do those misdemeanours make a poor book? No sir. It's still typical chaotic fun from start to finish. Better than most of his work, if you haven't read Rankin before it's a fine place to start. If you like Rankin then you'll be at home. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The plot was a bit different to other Rankin novels I've read (I haven't read them all so I couldn't say for certain on some) but it was interesting and very entertaining as a break from the normal fantasy books I usually read, and was a lot more Sci-fi than I've come to accept from Rankin. ( )
