This book was enjoyable and fun, but is not among Tom Holt’s best. It’s been several years since I read “Doughnut” and “When it’s a Jar”, and although remembering the details of them was not necessary to follow this book, I could tell that there were some references I wasn’t quite picking up on, but I also don’t feel compelled to re-read them. I’m not against re-reading, but there are other books by this author that I’d look to first. 

If you’re looking for Tom Holt’s best series I’d read the J W wells & co. books which start with “The Portable Door”, and if you prefer stand-alone works my personal favourites were “Nothing But Blue Skies” and “The Management Style of the Supreme Beings”
