I really enjoyed Heiny's earlier Standard Deviation, although remember nothing about it now. This is that most unusual of books - literally laugh-out-loud funny in places, as well as whimsical and evocative. It did go on a little too long, so that I started to lose patience with the rather annoying characters, but it was still overall a Good Read.

This was fabulous! It immediately appealed in Waterstones, for some reason, and my instincts were good (for once) as it turned out to be unusually funny and quietly rather wise. One for recommending but with the warning that (spoiler about lack of spoilers) it doesn't really end properly; it just serves up a defined slice of life.
