Ridiculous in the best way! The story is clever and hilarious and overall surprisingly heartwarming. The BBC radio dramatisation is brilliant.

2019: This book was hilarious. I wish I could have read it all closer together so I would have gotten the full impact of it, instead of having to get back into it. I know I’ll enjoy it even more on my next read.

2023: Still loved this book, but boy howdy I didn’t remember how badly a lot of it aged. But I did love reading it after watching the show, and picturing the actors and hearing their voices. Made it even better.
