Product Description
Review
"Praise for Awful End, Book One of the 'Eddie Dickens Trilogy': '... a scrumptious cross between Dickens and Monty Python.' Guardian 'Like Roddy Doyle, Philip Ardagh plays with narrative to hilarious effect.' The Bookseller 'It would be a sad soul that didn't find this book hilarious.' Financial Times
Product Description
The setting is an unidentified country, suffering from an unexpected outbreak of very large holes. The McNally children find themselves in The Dell hotel surrounded by a strange assortment of ridiculous characters ranging from Charlie 'Twinkle Toes' Tweedy, the house detective, to Mr Peach, a ventriloquist with a conveniently-large moustache. With young Fergal McNally falling to his death on page one, the only way for the McNallys is up...Expect the unexpected with Philip Ardagh pulling out all the stops that make his fiction so unique and so absurd.

Philip Ardagh has done it again with this entertaining read, as good, if not better, as Awful End and Dreadful Acts. Told in his trademark chatty style, The Fall of Fergal is full of ridiculous characters - dastardly, daring and debonair - and the action rollicks along at a terrific pace right to the end (or is it?), with plenty of surprises along the way. Read it, and you're in for a 'hole' lot of fun.

This is a great book, dark, humorous, and mysterious, with a double sided plot that makes you want to turn every page. The McNally family must run from huge holes, house detectives, and windows. With a author who gets involved in his books, and who Lemony Snicket fans will love, this is one of the best books of the year.

This book is the GREATEST! It was said to be funny, but not so funny. You'll get a few laughs,though. The story is very good, but most people says it's strange. Hmm... But I read the book, and it's great! No, this is not one of those soddy touching drama books, this is a funny, strange, as well as violence (Only one part which is violence)But GREAT for EVERYONE! It might have a little sadness about the poverty of The McNallys, but not a tear in your eyes would come out! You'll LAUGH! HAHAHAHAHA! Ok, I'm done, so, I hope MY review helped you.
