'Britt' is a unique love story set against a back-drop of war and espionage as childlike main characters Wriggles and Britt attempt to save Britain from the German threat.I've read three of Alan Hardy's books now and I have to say each one of them is vividly imprinted in my memory and I don't imagine they will ever fade.  This author has a brilliant way of pulling together outrageous ideas and madly blending genres to create something truly unique, thought-provoking and memorable.  'Britt' is a prime example of this with it's impressive combination of action, thriller, mystery, romance, humour and historical fiction.  The imagery contained in this novel is strong and used to great effect, often for comedy.  The story is entertaining and moves along at a fast pace with some well timed shocks and thrills packed in.The characters were deeply flawed and I found them tremendously entertaining from start to finish.  Their childlike innocence was unexpected and the contrast between this naivety and the easy brutality of the killings added well to the shock factor.  Britt was an unpredictable character and this made for some very tense moments where I honestly didn't know what she might do as it seemed like she could be capable of anything.Overall this is a massively entertaining novel containing a rather unusual romance story, full of laughs, shocks and edge-of-seat moments. 'Britt' is yet another brilliant novel from Alan Hardy.  If you have not yet tried one of his books this would be an excellent one to begin with.  A word of warning though, they are insanely addictive!
