5.0

As a sequel to 'Only an Alligator', this continues in the same absolutely crazy but brilliantly written way. I must confess it took me a couple of chapters to understand a word of what Aylett was saying, but once you slip into his mode of thinking and tip your mind at a tangent to our current dimension, it all begins to make sense. You realize that Aylett has not just created a strange world populated by slightly buffoon-like characters, but has beautifully crafted an entire dimension, where things work in other ways from what we are used to.

Incredibly imagined, lovingly crafted, and as a sequel, perfectly worthy, this book further explores the dizzying land of Accomplice.

This series will prove to be one of the most avant-garde of the generation, and doesn't just move fantasy to a new level, it invents a new carpark and supplies you with an extra piece of brain necessary to ride the creepchannel to this etheric infection.
