Very funny, as usual. I always enjoy these novels. I feel I know the characters so well by now too. This was one of the better ones too, which is saying a lot because they're all good anyway.
This ones about Poole and O'Malley attempting to get their hands on a large amount of coin, as they say from the Millennium funding committee, or some such body. Also involved in the shenanigans is a Doctor who clones two boys from the blood of Jesus on the Turin Shroud and yet another attempt to renovate The Flying Swan to the constant disgust of the locals.
Just switch off your brain and go along for the ride.
Wonderful stuff.

[Quick review from memory before I re-read and re-review at a later date]
(Little memory of the plot, though from the rating it must have been a grand one. Polley, O'Malley? Marchant... hmm. One of the ones where I learn something new, that's what it feels like.)

Very amusing book. It seemed somewhat of a cross between Christopher Moore and Jasper Fforde. There were a number of jokes that referred back to the fact that you were reading a novel and commented on the reader's expectations. Despite that, the plot was interesting enough and moved along at a good clip. I would definitely try another of Rankin's books.
