5.0 out of 5 stars Serious comedy!, 22 Jun 2005
By A Customer
There are few books which make you laugh. Even fewer that make you laugh out loud. But books which have you laughing out loud within the first few pages are rare indeed. This is one of them -- and one which keeps you laughing right to the end. The one liners come thick and fast, the situations are hilarious, and the plot becomes more intriguing by the page.

If you want a breath of fresh comic air, buy this book. But be warned. Don't read it in a public place. As you choke with laughter, you'll get some seriously "funny" looks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Back!, 8 Feb 2005
By A Customer
The boy and girl are back! I've been waiting ages for this book featuring Nick Madrid and Bridget Frost to appear. Years ago I heard some of the daft lyrics for the pirate musical that is the setting and couldn't get them out of my head. ("I'm feeling topsy turvy/Is it love or is it scurvy?") Now, finally, the book. Worth waiting for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finger on the absurd pulse, 2 Feb 2006
By A Customer
Little Britain might well be the (ephemeral) comedy that everybody in the Uk responds to but for my money Guttridge is the man for funny fiction that lacerates in a comic way what is going on in modern western society. SO - he satirises Hollywood, reality TV at its most grotesque, female/male relationships - plus modern piracy, modern music and - erm - the BBC. Hilarious.
