Ricky's Hand by David Quantick

3.0

From the blurb, I thought this book sounded like it was going to be funny in that very dry British way that is just oh so enjoyable. In some ways, it was, and there were moments of laugh-out-loud humour. For the most part, however, I felt that none of the characters were likeable, and it was very hard to care about them. What started off as a bizarre, intriguing premise quickly became a farfetched and much less captivating storyline: I wanted more absurdism and less grit. Unlucky for me, I guess!
