5.0 out of 5 stars the funniest book i've ever read, 7 Jan 2004
This review is from: Jim Giraffe (Paperback)
Jim Giraffe is one of the best characters I have ever had the pleasure of reading about.Well, of course he is, afterall, he's a sex-obsessed ghost giraffe who drinks too much - what more could you ask for?
I read this book in about 5 hours as I found it practically impossible to put down. I haven't read King's first novel but it has gone straight to the top of my wishlist. I've never laughed so much while reading a book and would highly recommend this to anyone with a sense of humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest book I've ever read, 7 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Jim Giraffe (Paperback)
If the "ghost giraffe" idea/concept was the funniest in this book, it would be a load of crap. But the fact that Jim is a ghost giraffe isn't really the point. This is a novel about two "friends" who secretly hate and envy each other, and the way that they constantly try to put the other down. Jim Giraffe could have been Jim Human, and this would still be the most hilarious book I've ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mad Genius, 22 April 2005
By Mr. A. Findlay (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jim Giraffe (Paperback)
This book is surreal, touching and very very funny. Daren King has a lovely touch with language; with words and phrases being repeated and inverted until the meaning is twisted out of them and all you're left with is a smile. Liberal use of alliteration and assonance keeps the story bouncing along and gives it an almost poetic feel and I for one found it very hard to put down.

True, the story doesn't make perfect sense, but if you can live with that, you should definitely give this book a try.

This book is dreadful rubbish. Save your money and buy a decent novel. It's not magic realism and it's not dadaist or surreal although it would like to be. Read more
