The new Christopher Brookmyre novel, Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks, is top fun. Unless you’re into psychics or Intelligent Design.
I’m ashamed to admit I got the geeky in-joke on page 124 immediately.

Ah, thanks for the reminder. Note to self: Go spend some money and order the book asap. Then check page 124.
Started it on the bus into work this morning. First thought: “No newspaper would serialise that”.
Oh, absolutely. But you don’t buy Brookmyres for realism.
Jesus, if your don’t pick up on everything as it happens…
A lot of it is DiVinci clunk
What with all the Brookmyre recommendations, I recently read All Fun And Games Until Somebody Loses An Eye. If you take all the best bits of the book, add them together, and multiply by a zillion, it’s still nowhere near as good as the title. Seriously, the writing was so bad I was actually embarassed on the author’s behalf. What the hell is all the fuss about?
Heh-heh. That’s one of his better written ones, too.
