| Goodreads – Ionia 4* At first, this book seemed like it wasn’t making much sense to me for the initial chapter, but after the story gets going it is full of laughs and you just don’t want to put it down and go back to reality. Derek is the ultimate bumbling fool of a hero and you can’t help but love him for all of his quirks. I liked the plot behind this story. It is highly original and one of those things that makes you wonder how the author managed to come up with it. The secondary characters are fun and add a lot of flair to this book, building a story that both makes you laugh, at times makes you stop and think and sometimes makes you shake your head and wonder how anyone could possibly think certain situations could ever be a good idea. In some ways, this book had a bit of a Monty Python feel and the constant reasons to laugh carried me through to the end without a hitch. I was happy with the ending, although it was definitely not what one would expect, and look forward to reading the next instalment in this series. If you enjoy books where the characters are oddballs and the narrative doesn’t quite fit into any one particular genre, this is the way to go. I had a really good time and found it was a nice vacation from reality. A review copy of this book was provided to me by the author. My opinions are my own. | |
