Book Description

Publication Date: 2 Jun 2011

Polly, an average, completely ordinary property lawyer, is convinced she's losing her mind. Someone keeps drinking her coffee. And talking to her clients. And doing her job. And when she goes to the dry cleaner's to pick up her dress for the party, it's not there. Not the dress - the dry cleaner's.

And then there are the chickens who think they are people. Something strange is definitely going on - and it's going to take more than a magical ring to sort it out.

Review

A great mix of the fantastical and the funny ...another great satirical offering from Tom Holt that entertains thoroughly while effortlessly moving between the silly and the smart (Bookgeeks.co.uk )

Crazy, absurd, complex and hilarious ... His writing is in the same mould as that of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams and Jasper Fforde TheBookBag.co.uk ('I loved this book ... prepare to have a wild ride that doesn’t always make sense, has lots of twists and turns and craziness but is good, clean, mind-bending fun’ )

5.0 out of 5 stars all you really need to know.... 17 Jun 2011

If you're a fan of Tom Holt then you already know what a good storyteller he is.
He is always well written,witty and humourous.
and clever.
his only fault is he sometimes gets to clever and convoluted for his own good-but i wouldn't miss reading him even though he makes my head hurt sometimes.
So if you have read his other books and liked them,you will enjoy this one too.
If you are new to tom holt, go and read "Expecting someone taller","Who's Afraid of Beowulf?","Flying Dutch" and "The "Portable Door", before trying this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent enough but JWW still wins hands down 27 May 2011
By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
For me Tom Holt is one of those authors who can, like Robert Rankin, take the bizarre and unusual, add a good dollop of the weird, a dash of decent prose and then add a huge spoonful of humour and create a wonderful mayonnaise title that works well for everyone. Unfortunately, like any mayonnaise, it doesn't matter how much time or love you put into it if the damn thing splits you've got to start from scratch.

For me this title was one that had huge potential, it blended realities, broke its way through the walls holding it back and literally blew the whole thing apart and that's where it lost me. I had up until that point been really enjoying this book, the characters were vivid, the tone light and above all else I love the author's humour, but as things ended up more complex, the less I started to follow everything to the full and as such began to care less and less about the characters. It's a great shame when that happens as finishing a book or absorbing what's happening can become more than a chore and can leave you thinking why the hell do I bother.

That said it does have some saving moments but my favourite series is going to remain the JWW series featuring Paul Carpenter. Although I still want a book with Dennis' Mum and the lead character.

3.0 out of 5 stars Clucking dissapointing 15 July 2011
By Breuddwyd
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Not up to his usual standard.
Usually Tom Holt's goofy out of place main characters are quite easy to identify with, and as they are exposed to whatever strange new worlds they discover during the book you share their exploration of those worlds. However this book was more of a random collection of kooky (but generally boring) scenes with little continuity and very little chance for the reader to start liking the characters.
The only funny bits involve the fact that some of the characters are turned into barnyard animals, even so it's a stretch.
A so-so enjoyable read but very bitty, I didn't find myself engrossed and struggled to keep going through to the end where the plot was finally revealed.

I can never put one of his books down without diminishing it all in one gloriously funny read. Brilliant again.
