Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls - Robert Rankin > Reviews (3)

I read this book on holiday it was meant to last me through the holiday but I actually read it in 1 day.
Mostly because I stayed up all night reading it.
This book should come with a disclaimer not to read it when you have a drink as time travel makes you very dizzy and you need to lay down.
The characters you meet are brilliant. I loved the character of Soap Distant but this was the 1st time i had met any of the characters and I was a bit confused about the background.
The story is a wonderful trip through time and sanity.
Mostly marred by insanity I think.
It contains so many twists I can't even begin to explain the story. You meet Soap Distant (traveller to the centre of the earth) first who seems about the sanest character in the story and like so many people he is chasing his 15 minutes of fame but he comes back to a world very different to the one he left. Richard Branson rules the world you would think he couldn't do much worse than the plebs in power at the moment and I suppose he doesn't.
O'Malley and Pooley are chasing money of course and they meet a fantastic band with a lead singer who's voice has the power to heal.
It all climaxes in a fantastic gig with The Beatles (with Old John Lennon), Hendrix and The Doors.
I don't want to give to much away but I actually liked the ending.
Jim O Mally and John Pooley are fantastic. I don't know if they only appeal to essex girls though ;)
I have read Hollow Chocolate Bunny's of The Appocalypse but this is my only other Robert Rankin but I am definitley a fan.
Buy this book and all his others and then send them to me.
