5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Rankin, Jan 22 2002
This review is from: Raiders/Lost Car (Paperback)
This book contains everything which is to be expected. There is a humour not found in any other writer, which floats through the story like a log on a fast flowing stream. The lead charactors are obviously mad, the philosophies of Hugo Rune strangely persuasive, and there's an obnoxious Campbell! It's a sardonic sort of wit, but make no mistake, you will relate to the humour. If this is the first book you read by Rankin, you'll buy more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointment, Jan 19 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Raiders/Lost Car (Paperback)
The trouble with this book and the others outside Rankins series about Brentford and Barry the travelling time sprout is you know that what you are reading ain't half as good. Rankin is undoubtedly an extremely funny science fiction writer but his(or his publishers?) policy of bringing out what seems like a book every week means you are getting less genius per page than is tolerable. Slow down, Robert and refine your exquisite stories.Forget this book, readers, and head for Brentford country.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great story from a very under-rated writer
This book is the sequel to the "Book of Ultimate Truths". Robert is one of the great English story tellers. Read more
