Another strange but interesting idea from Anthony. I enjoyed it. ( )
  Snukes | Jun 14, 2013 |
While not a BAD book, it is far from a good book. It IS amusing on many ways. But Piers himself, in the author's note, admits that the publishing companies refused to purchase this one until he became such a big name they were begging for anything he put out - and even then he rewrote the original story.

So long as you are not looking for heavy plot-lines, killer suspense or deep moral results - you'll enjoy this story. It smacks more of juvenile than anything else, though ( )
