Wiity. Highly inventive. More than a bit mad. Cockneys, a Mockney, pirates, FBI and the Olympics. What is there not to like? Highly readable story of ..well…cockneys, a mockney, pirates, FBI and the Olympics. There is no point in even trying to explain this book. Just read it. You won’t be able to put it down. Robert Rankin. The Goons. A bit of Python, Round The Horne, I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again for a few references as to what to expect.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTJ Howes gave it 4 stars\u003cbr\u003e\"Very well written in a natural and easy flow. Just my level of daftness. Having read pretty much everything Robert Rankin has written I was looking for someone in a similar vein. Might just have found it. Only reason for four stars and not five is I feel there is more to be told.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dot Gumbi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077858115824,"sku":"2940044712362","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940044712362_p0.jpg?v=1763666522","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940044712362","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
