I read this in a couple of sittings. It went down really easily.

Told in the first person, Gary is a great narrator, I enjoyed being in his head. The plot isn't particularly novel but that's not the supposed to be the strength of it - Mortimer's easily identifiable sense of humour is evident through Gary and he's oddly funny. There's a subtle layer of themes of loneliness through the novel. The scenes where Gary gets a bit of the devil in him are great, silly and funny and totally Bob Mortimer.

One of the 'reviews' on the back dust cover is from Ron Sabre. It says 'I hope all the characters are doing well now the book has finished ' that sums it up, I do like to think of them all making a little life for themselves.
