Creative Wit that is Laugh Out Loud Funny
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Rankin has a way with words that few humourist can master or sustain... Think of the original "Red Dwarf", or anything by Douglas Adams. Suspend your logical thinking, climb on board for a wild ride of wry humour co-existing in a crazy acid-hazed alternate reality... I will seek each and every one of his gems out.
Toys with Attitude

Plenty of humor. I enjoyed the idea of a teddy bear who goes to the pub and has a stash of toy weapons. Book gives some piercing insights into the "real" world and meat-head (human) behaviour. Beware the chickens !! Backcover: Somewhere over the rainbow and just off the Yellow Brick Road stands Toy City, formerly known as Toy Town. And things are not going well for the city's inhabitants. There have been outbreaks of STC--Spontaneous Toy Combustion--and there are strange signs and portents in the Heavens. Preachers of Toy City's many religions are predicting that the End Times are approaching and that a Toy City Apocalypse will soon come to pass. But can this possibly be true, or is there a simple explanation--an alien invasion, for instance? With the body count rising and the forces of law and order baffled, it is the time for a hero to step forward and attempt to save the day. Well, two heroes, actually: Eddie Bear, Toy City Private Eye, and his loyal sidekick, Jack. Our courageous twosome are about to face their biggest challenge yet--to save not only toykind, but the world of mankind, too. Sequel toThe Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse (Gollancz)
Great

If you liked Hollow Chocolate Bunnies Of The Apocalypse then you'll love the sequel, but make sure you read Hollow Chocolate Bunnies Of The Apocalypse first or you wont know what the hell is going on!
