5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite books..., April 12 2003

By	Catherine (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bilgewater (Paperback)

This book is surely the ultimate tragic comedy. At the same time as teetering on the brink of despair, I was laughing raucously out loud (which, as an indication of Bilgewater's sheer funniness, I never do, so beware of reading this book in public places!). Bilgewater's character is a work of genius: ungainly, bookish and forlorn; insightful, intelligent and original. My favourite, favourite part is the crazy vision of Bilge climbing out of the Roses' window. If you are looking for something a bit weird, offbeat, or, in fact, just a brilliant book, I would strongly recommend this one. :o)
