Elvis, a time sprout and Rex Mundi
22. Dezember 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
All I can say is that this is one of the funniest books I have ever read! Not only that it is also possessed of a plot so complex that it only makes any kind of sense at all when you reach the grand finale but it also has so many running gags concerning "that amazing rotary machine gun that Blaine used in Predator" that every time you watch said film you will have a smile on your face. I have read many humourous sci-fi books in my time but this one had me laughing out loud whilst sitting on a train getting some very odd looks from fellow passangers. If only the Elvis Appreciation Society had not blocked moves to make the film...... Be that as it may, if you are just dicovering the sprout miester for the first time, this is the perfect place to start and get hooked. BEWARE however reading in public can cause very embarrassing hesterical laughter fits!

Madness.. utter Madness
4. September 1998
Format:Taschenbuch
Rankin has been compared to Pratchett and Adams.. this is unfair. Rankin is Rankin in the same way as Pratchett is Pratchett, they shouldn't be compared because although both are brilliant they are brilliant in quite astoundingly different ways. All of Rankin's books have a different feel to them, and if you didn't know, you could swear that some were written by different authors.. but despite that there are always those rankin touches.. the Running Gag.. oh how we love the running gag.. not just running through chapters but running through every book. Armageddon the musical is a start of a trilogy of books all concerned with... yup, the end of the world. The good guys include Rex Mundi (King of the world, although only by name) Elvis Aron (or Aaron, no one is really sure) Presley.. Barry the loqacious sprout, what better could you ask for. The plot twists and weaves and is quite complex but it all makes sense and it all adds up to the really and tottaly unexpected trick ending (no, don't skip forward, you'll spoil it) I have heard it said that it's not as Rankin-esque as "The book of Ultimate Truths" but that's one of Rankin's Strengths, There's always something new. Buy this.. buy all his others too. You'll be happy.

Extremely funny and intelligent 'fantasy'
12. April 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
For all fans of comic literature, Robert Rankin does the goods. This is an extremely funny and weird book, which is also quite intelligently construed. I think some of Rankin's other works are even more funny, but all in all this book is miles ahead of most other works in the genre. If you like Terry Pratchett, you will definitely enjoy all of Rankin's books, and maybe even prefer the self-consciousness of his works over others. Very much recommended.
