My friend described this as the funniest book ever written...boy where. Where was the humour? None of the jokes or situations landed as being comical whatsoever. Same feeling as good omens with worse pay off. I think I might just not vibe with british humour: building up this elaborate side story that interrupts the plot for no reason, to then attempt and tell a joke with no punch line.....It never landed for me.
