Product Description
Daniel Coysh, THE MORNING STAR
"Rankin's Milligan-esque mind shows no signs of fatigue or flagging. Rocking good fun." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description
Robert Rankin's THE BRENTFORD TRILOGY - seven books and counting - catapulted him into the dizzy heights of "cult success", but over the years that cult following has grown and Robert Rankin is now the second best-selling writer of comic fantasy in Britain, after Terry "He Always Makes Me Laugh" Pratchett. Were you aware that there are, hidden in the streets of Brighton, twelve ancient constellations, like the Hangleton Hound and the Bevendean Bat . . . well, there are: and on each one hangs a tale, a tale so strange that only The Lad Himself, that inveterate spinner of tales and talker of the toot, Hugo Rune, can get to the bottom of them. And he'd better do it quickly, because if he doesn't solve the dozen mysteries before the year is out, that'll be the end of the world as we know it. And everything. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wearing Thin? Never!, 16 Mar 2006
This review is from: The Brightonomicon (Gollancz S.F.) (Hardcover)
I consider the other criticisms of this book to be unjust. I'd suggest to people that if Rankin's style of writing, recurring characters, running gags and terrible jokes are wearing thin then they look elsewhere for their entertainment. For me, this book is as good as any other he's written and at times had me in stitches. But me no buts, some of the gags in 'The Brightonomicon' are unhealthiliy funny. Your spleen will burst. Watch out for the Scottish groundsman in particular, and his claims to the heritage of polo. Rune makes a welcome return, this time in Brighton as he leads young Rizla on a quest to defeat his nemesis Count Otto Black, and save the world (of course). Other familiar names include Lazlo Woodbine, Fangio, Pooley and Omally.
