A speedy read that i really enjoyed light hearted full of adventure.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy for an honest review

This book is really quite crazy and I normally run a mile from anything surreal or picaresque or which is described as a romp. But Robertson completely won me over with this zany novel about Douglas Findhorn Elder, who has just turned 50 and is looking forward to a bleak future without his partner or his job. But then he makes a new friend. A talking toad. And suddenly life gets pretty wild. Robertson writes with verve and wit, he manages to keep control of his bizarre plot and characters, and injects the whole thing with a large dose of humanity and compassion. An enormously enjoyable read, with memorable characters, including the anthropomorphic toad, and a life-affirming and warm-hearted narrative that engages right to the end.
