Unfettered by such mundane trappings as plot, character development, or sanity, 'Danny Yates Must Die' takes the reader on a hell-for-leather ride through a wide-ranging conspiracy to kill the titular Danny (or is it Gary?), who, to be fair, has brought this whole mess down on himself through indiscriminate use of an industrial stapler.

Imagine Monty Python's surreal bent twisted into a Möbius loop, and you'll have an idea of how loosely 'Danny Yates' follows anything approximating reality. The random illogic doesn't make for an especially difficult read, but the style doesn't lend itself to skimming.

Suspend your disbelief (and rationality, while you're at it), settle down, and pay close attention: Stephen Walker will have you by the end of page three, and, like a well-meaning-accountant-turned-gargantuan-fluffy-monster, he won't let go.

Hillarious is the best way to describe this book. If you are the type of person who can laugh at themselves, dive in, otherwise stay home and hide under the covers.
