The Gnome King reviewed Three Seasons by Mike Robbins
Review of 'Three Seasons' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars

The best parts of Autumn were the characters, very well created and how the death of the record was handled had me laughing, I remember when the CD came out I hated them too, well they got their comeuppance with the arrival of the MP3!
This is the first work I've read by Mike Robbins and I'm really looking forward to reading some more.
