Chris reviewed The Sprouts of Wrath by Robert Rankin
None
3 stars
A generous three stars or an ungenerous four ... probably should have been the third volume in the "Brentford Trilogy" and then he called it a day. Having painted himself into a corner in "East of Ealing" he then hit the big red button a la Doctor Who and went back up the timeline to start again.
Despite squirrely gibberings about his later work I'm not really that fond of them, with the possible exception of "Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse."
Alternatively, having read the first four or so while still in my twenties, maybe the reader moves beyond them after a point.
