A comic fantasy on a theme of pirates, sailing ships, senient cats and intergalactic travel. Totally and entertainingly bonkers and moves along at a decent pace. There are a couple of near misses at quite naughty double entedres, one of the Mrs Slocum variety, the other I cannot think how to put without being hopelessly vulgar (a clue - the item of clothing we call Bum Bags the Americans call F**** Packs), adding more of these might make the book funnier but perhaps not as clean as I suspect the author intended. Lots of surreal momments , including a sailing ship being converted into an intergalactic space ship and a castle made of sand (at first I thought a comode in the executive washroom was one - a portable invalid's bedside toilet in the laundry? and what was he doing with it? until the translation circuits kicked in and I realised that it meant the pan(or possibly the urinal) in the executive toilets).
Fun read… (más)
