5.0 out of 5 stars Funny mystery, November 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Rest You Merry (Peter Shandy Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have alsways enjoyed spoofs obout Christmas, and this one had me laughing so hard that I cried. Prof. Peter Shandy did what I always wanted to do about December 23rd, when the pressures of this "giving season" are really getting to me. It is also a really good mystery with a plot, cleverly drawn characters and a satisfactor ending. I recommend it highly (especially in the third week of December).

This review is from: Rest You Merry (Peter Shandy Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

I love Rest You Merry and I was thrilled to see a hardcover edition advertised, but this edition is awful. It is actually a paperback, not a hardcover edition. Probably a reprint of a hardcover without resetting the text for a paperback sized book. The font size is tiny, like foot notes and hard to read. While a normal paperback has 32-35 rows of text, this has 44 in the same size book! I hope there will be a new edition with a better layout at some point in the future. This is a gloriously funny book worth re-reading for the pleasure of escaping to Balaclava with its eccentric inhabitants and the reindeer on Peter Shandy's roof! Five points for the book, one point for the edition.
