A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away by Christopher Brookmyre
5.0
A Big Boy Did it and Ran Away = ((Egotist + Gamer) ÷ Friendship) x (Terrorism ÷ (Kids + Angel X))
Another awesome book from Brookmyre. Introducing the kick-arse Angel X, the living-in-a-computer-game Ray and the oh-how-i-love-to-hate-him Simon.
It's a perfect mix of action adventure, suspense, geekery, nostalgic friendship and mishaps. Oh, and humour. Can't forget the humour.A classroom full of foul-mouth brats + a teacher at the end of his tether + A Midsummer Night's Dream + chalkboard cock = BEST CHAPTER EVER.
This is also the longest Brookmyre book, or at least the longest yet, but it went by in a breeze. The alternating between time, places and characters helps the story move swiftly, without losing interest and never making it drag. It is, once again, some damn fine writing.
