Part of the Ongoing Series	Customer Rating:
The Last Fish Supper is the 5th or 6th book in a series of Barney Thomson books by Douglas Lindsay and although it doesn't quite reach the heights of the previous books, it still manages to capture the essence of the first books. I've notice previous reviewers have read this book in islolation, I would strongly recommend to them to read all the books in the series.

It doesn't quite make it!	Customer Rating:
Well, I tried. I'd had this book suggested to me as being very funny, so perhaps I was expecting too much. I gave up around page ninety without being able to understand what was really going on. I don't like being beaten so maybe I'll go back to it and have another go sometime. I liked the idea of the plot, but thought it was trying too hard. Sorry!!!

Weird, in a good way

Picked this up in a bookshop on the strength of the inspired blurb on the back cover (as seen in the above book description). I think the word is 'whimsical' - it's as chaotic as the description suggests, with far more plot strands (most of them red herrings) than should be feasible in a shortish novel. Ultimately, it's a very clever spoof of the likes of the Da Vinci Code, although it's the surreal little details, most of them irrelevant to the plot, that provide most of the laughs. Lindsay is best described, on this evidence anyway, as a Scottish Robert Rankin - great fun in small doses, although the silliness could get wearing in time.
