Description
Few people noticed it at first. The changes. They were subtle to begin with. Like when the Leader of the Opposition challenged the PM to step outside and settle things man to man. And the PM agreed. Or the way the baked ham rose up against Dave while he was standing in the check-out queue at Budgens. Small things. But they just kept getting bigger. And by the time everyone realised that something very strange was going on, it was all too late. The Earth had left behind the age of science and show more reason and moved once more into a time of myth. A time of legend and heroes. Of romance and wizardry and wonder. It was time to take the mother of all giant leaps and enter - The Garden of Unearthly Delights. show lessTags

What can I say, its a story about a modern man swept up in the change when the world goes from Science based to fantasy based. He goes around, tries to help the locals, gets run out of town, generally gets into trouble. Its fun, its not very deep. Its a great story for a light read, but don't go looking for a book about the meaning of life.
Failed the 40 page test. Dreadfully dull. Off to the Bosnia shop.
