Glad I finally got round to reading this. I tried to read it when I was fairly young and got as far as the council dude being persuaded to take over lying in front of the bulldozer, at which point I thought "what the hell is this bollocks?" and gave up. I then saw the TV adaptation of it, and obviously it's a book people make a lot of references to so I ended up knowing pretty much everything that happens before I read it. So I was better prepared for the madness and the wacky humour, and I really enjoyed it. You must just have to have such a random imagination to come up with something like this and it was good fun (partly because I really don't). I'm particularly attached to the depressed robot.
