A review by katwithahat
The Book of Scotlands by Momus

3.0

As someone who has always held a mild fascination with the idea of alternative realities there was a decent chance this was going to be a hit with me. Wasn't quite what I was expecting, although not sure if that's a good thing or not. Utterly bonkers book, farcical and surreal with an odd dark moment thrown in here and there to keep the reader's attention. Certainly a few smiles were raised along the way.

Introduction aside, there was no new content added since the book's original release in 2009, which is fine since the author doesn't really use contemporary ideas or moments to base universes around so everything aged rather well.

Overall, I rather liked it. Helped that it was an extremely quick read that didn't overstay its welcome.

This was an ARC in exchange for an honest review. With thanks to Netgalley and Luath Press.
