Advantages: Highly amusing, Great Escapism, Fun to Read

Disadvantages: none found so far

After reading everything ever written by Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, I despaired of finding another author who could achieve their standards of excellence. In Robert Rankin I believe I have found someone who surpasses that level and creates a whole new meaning of the word entertaining.

These books are laugh out loud funny and though you will have heard many of the jokes before, you will find them refreshed when applied in a different context.

I did not read Robert Rankin's books in the order that they were written, as prior to seeing his books on a shelf in W.H Smiths I had never heard of him. The title of one of the books caught my eye (Nostradmus Ate My Hamster, for the record) and I thought to myself that any book with a little that made me laugh aloud must be worth a read. It was and I proceeded to work my way through the rest of his books until now I am left to anticipate the next one as i have read all of the others.

Robert Rankin's characters are described lovingly and he has a talent for making a character seem alive and familiar.

I would recommend Robert Rankin to anyone who has a preference for far fetched fiction that is pure escapism.
