Summary

The compelling story of a family of fervent God-botherers which may or may not be a family memoir and is certainly full of tall tales.

Utter nonsense

Apparently I need a review of 15 words or more ….. eh??
Anyway: utter nonsense; and I think it’s meant to be ?

Unusual but catvhing

This book intrigued me and finally connected with it. I had deleted the others in the trilogy after the first hour but at the end downloaded them again.

Stick with it - Everything makes sense eventually!
Robert Rankin narrates his own stories extremely well.

Entirely discombobulating. Loved it.

Definitely deserves a second listen. Complex and straightforward all at once. Clever bloke, that Rankin. I'd chew the fat with him any time and I'm a vegetarian!

Funny far ferched fantasy

Bonkers from start to finish. Just what I needed to escape the rest race.
Narrator not bad, found Barry's voice irritating but enjoyed it overall.

Delightful and absurd

I’ve read several of Robert Rankin’s books over the years, but this is the first audiobook.
The writing certainly kept me smiling, and the author has done an excellent job in performing the text. I now need to move onto his other books on audible.

funny and quirky

I have loved all Robert Rankin's books. Quirky and appeal to my sense of humour.

The first instalment of a tall tale indeed...

Read in glorious Brent-o-coustix (tm) by our beloved Mr Rankin himself! Beware the hidden parables ;)
