Monstrous fun

Yet another winner from Simon Carr. Not his funniest book but his best so far and the narrator is perfect. Think tremors meets Eight legged freaks with a touch of Mothra thrown in all set in a forgotten outback town. The usual idiotic heroes, a psychotic kangaroo, zombie rabbit and pineapple of leadership, with a science gone wrong plot and gruesome deaths what's not to love. Simon makes fun of all the monster movies you have ever seen but with great style. Minor characters are routinely used as creature fodder, heroes pose with flames in the background, and It is all science and big businesses fault. Loved it. Brilliant fun. Geoffrey Boyes does a superb job and is perfect. Keep it up I love these books

A brilliant out back adventure

Simon has nailed it yet again!! The narrator knocked it out of the park as well. This is such a great adventure. It’s like a bit of tremors mixed with crocodile Dundee and a dash of tmnt secret ooze mutations. I would love to see choggy in real life just to see his eyebrows in action. The many descriptions of these are great. I love the secret plan of getting the signatures from the residents whilst feeling zero guilt. I’ve learnt a couple of things as well, if it smells funky, you need antibiotics and if you want to be crowned as the mayor, you’ll need a pineapple
