About this listen
Tinker's Cottage nestles in a forgotten corner of deepest Somerset. It also happens to sit on a weak point in the space time continuum...which is somewhat unfortunate for Ian Faulkener, a graphic novelist from London, who was hoping for some peace and quiet in which to recuperate following a very messy breakdown.
It was the cats that first alerted Ian to the fact that something was not quite right with Tinker's Cottage...the cats and, of course, the Pope, disappearing literary agents, mislaid handymen and the insanity of Cherie Blair World. As Ian tries to untangle the mystery of the doors of Tinker's cottage, he risks becoming lost forever in the myriad alternate universes predicted by Schrödinger. Not to mention his cats.
Schrödinger's Cottage is a playful romp through a variety of alternate worlds peopled by an array of wonderful comic characters that are the trademark of David Luddington's novels.
For fans of the sadly missed Douglas Adams, Schrodinger's Cottage is a heartwarming comedy with touches of inspired lunacy that pays homage to The Hitchhiker's Guide.

A strange protagonist for a comedic novel
I think the book is probably funnier than the performance. The narrator played an always nearly off the rails protagonist just right— an l hard-boiled kindof guy. This is probably what the author intended but a reluctant hero who might have an alcohol induced fearful, angry and paranoid psychotic break (the backstory for the protagonist) is a little nerve wracking. I personally find hapless reluctant heroes funnier. Other than that most of the other positive reviews hit the nail on the head. It’s an easy, sometimes funny story with a lot of pub food.

I liked the concept
It could have gone on forever, but the ending sort of jumped out at me. It feels unresolved

nothing really stands out in this book
It took a while to get to explaining the bit that was obviously going to be explained and was central to the story. Whilst being mildly amusing, the story meandered somewhat and there wasn't any depth to the characters.
I noticed a few grammatical errors and there were some parts that went largelyunexplained (what was the relevance of the crystal, for example).
Not sorry I listened to this but it won't get a second hearing!

A joyous little listen
Very silly, very funny, lots of satire. Had an air of Pratchett about it but that's probably due to Planer narrating.

A good bit of fun
This was a change from my usual Audible fare. I loved it. The narrator was excellent and the story enjoyable. It’s good harmless fun. I laughed out loud in places. It would make
a good comedy play. Good ending too. If you need cheering up, then I thoroughly recommend this one!
