Review

'One of the rare guys who can always make me laugh' (Terry Pratchett )

'To the top-selling ranks of humorists such as Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, let us welcome Mr Rankin' (Tom Hutchinson The Times )

'He crams enough gags into Armageddon the Musical to last anyone else for a trilogy. And nothing's sacred. So buy this quick, before he ends up sleeping in Salman Rushdie's spare bedroom' (Terry Pratchett )

The first book in the Armageddon series.

4.0 out of 5 stars We're all going to Die..... (of laughter) 1 July 2002
By "malpacinoooo"
Format:Hardcover
This is the first of the three Armageddon books, and the first dose of Rankin that I ever had, and what a way to start! Elvis time-travelling, Rex trying to avoid capture, and the now immortal Barry the Time Sprout.
The book is set in 2050 when the "Big Three" religions/television stations rule the world, the only way to earn money is to watch TV all day. Idealic as it sounds there is a down side to this world, the whole planet is radioactive after the "Nuclear Holocaust Event".
As an added spin on the whole surreal story it is revealed that in space we are not alone and further more they have been watching us, not with camaras but with plants that beam everything we do to their home world. As another twist in this tale "Earthers" is the highest rated show in the universe. But with viewers starting to stray the executives have one final publicity stunt up there sleeves, the total distruction of Earth!
This is a throughly funny book and should tickle most people in some strange places!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! 16 April 2012
By Gordon
Format:Kindle Edition
When I first read this book, I was on a dreary train on a dreary commute into London to work in a dreary job. Ten minutes into the journey I burst out laughing, much to the disdain of my fellow sardines. I laughed so much that upon my arrival at dreary Waterloo I was met by a number of large gentlemen in long white coats.

Thank you Robert Rankin for not being dreary.

Oh, yeh. The book ... Elvis Presley, the Dalai Lama and a time travelling brussel sprout called Barry. What's not to like?

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow to start but gets better with every page !
This sets the scene for the Armageddon trilogy which, like all Robert Rankin's works have a surreal sense of the more bizzare side of 'the Dark'. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat dissappointing
Not quite what I expected from Robert Rankin. Readable but not IMHO as good as the Brentford books so all in I wouldn't have brought it if I'd already read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confusingly Named
I bought this expecting a bit of post-apocalyptic Bob Fosse-style gamboling, but had tremendous difficulty making it work with my hi-fi or any of the mp3 players I tried it on. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars silly
