DEATH, a warped Assassin, and real honest-to-god boars 
The Cheerful Fairy ...seriously, weaker sub - plot, VERY seasonal (Christmas) Interestingly enigmatic and manipulative central character, some background locations and circumstances with genuine novelty value, a fast and exciting concluding section. The novel fails to cohere as a wholethe second and third sections seem oddly irrelevant to each othermany of the ideas are not expanded fully due to the books slim size. Pretty good storyline, characters, funny moments Weakest book in the Bromeliad Triology Light humour, good characterisation, cleverly written with amusing classic references Too light for some Each story is well written, a good variety and excellent foreword. Writing styles are very much an acquired taste. Some references lost me. easy to read, fairly entertaining sudden dramatic endingConfessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins
