Finding himself without a job, a wife, or money, Theo Bernstein's luck changes when a recently deceased friend leaves him the contents of his safety deposit box and sends Theo on a journey that will rewrite the laws of physics.
This was my first encounter with Tom Holt.
A friend recommended him to me and I'm glad of it.
Despite some bad reviews I've read here I thoroughly enjoyed Doughnut.
There were sections where I did wish our protagonist did have at least one friend in the world, but later on this was explained to my satisfaction.
Both funny and based on a sound Sci-Fi idea, I loved it.
Fun. It’s been two decades since I last read Holt, almost that long since I stopped looking for more books by him. What a treat to discover that he’s writing again!
Doughnut is pretty much what I expected—deliciously so. Surreal, whimsical, charming, lighthearted, but also mature. I’m looking forward to catching up on the last ten years of Holt.
