Review
"'We read Rankin for his exuberant salmagundi of old jokes, myths urban and otherwise, catchphrases, liberatingly crazy ideas, running gags, recurring characters and locations, unreliable autobiogrpahical anecdotes...His impressively individual style means that he becomes funnier the more you read him'" Independent "'He does for England what Spike Milligan does for Ireland. There can be no higher praise'" Mail on Sunday
