Review of 'Preincarnate' on 'Goodreads'

I ❤️ Shaun Micallef. I think he’s one of Australia’s best comics, and I watch everything he makes in TV.

Where I think he falls down slightly, in TV and in print, is trying to craft a narrative. His penchant for the silly, the surreal and the slapstick is hard to fit into a novel.

I really wanted to like this book, but eventually my min rebelled against the nonsense in search of 10 pages of sane plot.

Surrealism is best served in bites.
