From the Publisher
'Wonderful ... a heady mix of Flann O'brien, Douglas Adams, Tom Sharpe and Ken Campbell, but with an inbuilt irreverence and indelicacy that is unique - and makes it the long-awaited, heavy smoker's answer to The Lord of the Rings' - Time Out
'Wonderfully entertaining ... reads like a Flann O'brien rewrite of Close Encounters' - City Limits
