About this listen

 Once upon a time Jack set out to seek his fortune in the big city. But Jack gets a bit lost on the way, and when he finally comes to a big city, it is Toy City, formerly known as Toy Town. And there is a serial killer loose upon the streets.

One by one, the old, rich nursery rhyme characters, who made their millions from the royalties on their best-selling rhymes, are being brutally slaughtered. The Toy City Police are getting nowhere. Bill Winkie, Private Eye, has also mysteriously vanished, leaving only his sidekick, Eddie Bear, to take care of business.

But Eddie's ready to take on the challenge and when he teams up with Jack, the two set out on a epic adventure. Not to mention a lot of heavy drinking, bad behaviour, fast car chases, gratuitous sex and violence, bizarre toy fetishism, and all-round grossness. Of a type not normally associated with Toy Town.

Back in 2003, Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse was my introduction to the wonderful, wild imagination of Robert Rankin, and years later, amongst all his hilarious books it's still my favourite. So join Jack and Eddie; boy escaping to seek his fortune and an alcoholic teddy bear as they try to stop the serial killer running amok in Toy City. On top of that, this audiobook is read by the author.

I found this book really funny, and what is better is it's the author doing the narration of which he excels in.
There are quite a few laugh out loud parts and definately loads of wide smiles places.
Set in toytown which gives it a surreal setting, a soft slouch hat humorous tec novel and a joy to listen to.

Teller of Tall Tales strikes again

Despite initial misgivings about author-delivered readings - having enjoyed the dramatised Brightonomicon - I was very impressed by the quality of the narrative, aided and abetted by subliminal noises off, which told this story beautifully.



Rankin never fails to hold my attention and fire my imagination, even in this case using toy town and nursery rhymes as its backdrop, with a twisting plot line fueling a willing suspension of disbelief.

far fetched fiction at it's best
