Review: A wonderful wry comedy with a subtle depth
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 9, 2011
When I first started reading this book I took it for an out and out comedy. Sentient grass - I couldn't stop giggling. As I read on I realised there was a much deeper side to the story, told very gently through the lovely wry humour. Is Marvin Baines going crazy, or is he in the process of a wake-up call, giving him the opportunity to reassess his life and his priorities? I don't want to post them here because I want readers to discover them for themselves, but subtly hidden amongst the comedy are some thought-provoking concepts. The book will leave you smiling, but also reflecting on your own life and how your actions shape your future. I highly recommend it to other readers.
