Bob is one of the funniest guys alive. He has a Tommy Cooper like gift of making you laugh out loud with the slightest mannerism.

His fictional debut is highly amusing too. I spent much of the time reading it imagining Bob on his laptop with a big grin on his face. That was until Vic Reeves smashed a frying pan on his head to provoke Bob into inserting his mouse somewhere within his assailant’s anatomy!

The book is a jolly crime caper come love story. I found Bob’s writing to be similar to Charlie Higson in style, another favourite author of mine. The Bob of Reeves & Mortimer, Shooting Stars, Would I Lie To You and Gone Fishing is here in spades, only without the unintended tumbles.

It is full of Bob like one liners and ripostes. Razor sharp wit and descriptive bath time, poor taste socks and bromance. His bad back cure is genius, but you should never accept a refreshing drink off the man if ever offered. Battenberg cake is fine though.

His one-to-ones with his imaginary squirrel friend are genius. That’s one mighty smart bushy tailed acorn eating rodent.

If you fancy an easy read with laugh out loud moments then this is for you. I can’t wait for his next effort.
