Synopsis: How twisted do you like your fairy tales?
A half-woman, half-cockroach fused in a bizarre gardening accident? That would be Mrs Jittery Twitch, dwelling in the shadows of our misdeeds. If in danger, you can call upon her help… all she asks is your soul as payment. But she’s just a legend, so no need to worry.
Barry Harris is a 28-year-old man, still living with his dear old mum in a little flat above a hairdresser. His obsession with Star Trek and the martial arts won’t help him when he’s forced out on a date.
And nobody knows about the weird string of events that’s about to put everyone’s lives in danger. A trio of samurai warriors and the strangest offer of help lead Barry on a perilous mission to save the day.
(This book is the second in the Prophecy Allocation series but works fine as a standalone read.)
Why you should read this book:
It explains revolutionary insights into the nature of reality that debunk the myth of free will (probably).
It proves the multiverse has only two parallel universes (depending on your criteria for what makes up proof).
It contains 50% extra innuendo-based gags than Book One in the series. Some of them might be considered funny (again this is relative).
The author achieved a heightened dynamic tension not found in other books. He was heavily constipated during its creation. There may be a link. The author is no way suggesting that this makes it better than every other book ever written.
Warning: The book is written in British English. All British slang terms are helpfully translated for the international reader, along with a short explanation of why British people are a little strange.
Review: I thought the book was okay. The book is full of dark humor and is compiled of scifi short stories. The footnotes are amusing and for the most part I enjoyed the book if only for the author’s excellent comedic writing. I did think that the characters and plot were well developed though.
However, I’m a bit confused as to what I just read lol. The writing isn’t bad, but there’s definitely a feeling of randomness in the book. The book is also the second book in the Prophecy Allocation series so maybe the book will make more sense if you spend the time to read the first book (I was unaware of this until after I read it cause sometimes I’m a bit of a blonde to titles lol).
Verdict: Funny if dark humor is your thing!
