A review by emmafromoz
Death, the Devil, and the Goldfish by Andrew Buckley

3.0

If you are a fan of Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett, then you will almost certainly love this book. It does what it is setting out to do well - bits of it were genuinely funny - but it's not really my cup of tea.... For an idea of the humour involved, one of the incidental characters lives in (& therefore comes from) Upper Ramsbottom. This joke is made more than once. For my money, I much prefer Jasper Fforde. Embarrassingly, I also have to admit that this novel totally failed to meet my emotional needs (the ones so amply served by urban fantasy). I suspect this says more about me than this book. Just saying.....
