Review: MAD, BAD and DANGEROUS . Crazily FUNNY though throughout.

This book is a “must read” for all fans of truly anarchic humour. From the very first crazy lines, I was dragged screaming, kicking and laughing insanely into the absurd and surreal world of the Wicked Witch of the West, as she conducted a vendetta against a Dorothy who bears little resemblance to the tepid heroine of The Wizard of Oz.Don’t expect any of the feel-good sentimentality of the Judy Garland movie, but experience rather a journey strewn with blood and guts, with loads of laughing along the way.If this book is anything to go by, Darrin Mason’s brain must be made from the mummified remnants of dead flying monkeys posteriors. (If you want to write really side-splitting absurdist comedy, that’s the kind of brain you need).If you want to read a book that will have you rolling on the floor laughing, this is for you.
