5.0 out of 5 stars Holy smokes, this is fine!
Well, it isn't the first Rankin I've read- in fact, I've gone throught them all. But this is one of the best. Coming from Ealing, near Brentford, where the books are set, I must admit I feel a certain affinity with Mr Rankin, but I am damned glad I do. He is incredibly funny, and get's funnier with each book. Sprouts...deals with Brentford's hosting the next Olympic...

3.0 out of 5 stars Standard Rankin
Not the best Rankin novel - Sprouts fails to inject enough humour into the proceedings to carry the bog standard plot. Rankin regulars (like myself) will be disappointed.

Coming from Ealing, near Brentford, where the books are set, I must admit I feel a certain affinity with Mr Rankin, but I am damned glad I do. He is incredibly funny, and get's funnier with each book. Sprouts...deals with Brentford's hosting the next Olympic Games, which will be held in a giant invisible floating stadium. Hmmmm. Anyway, it's a great laugh, as much for regulars as newbies. Trust me - you will enjoy it. You have my word. No, really.

1.0 out of 5 stars I really wish I could read this wonderful sounding book!, October 4, 2006

Barnabas Collins' Love Child (Mechanicsburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews
I have not read this book. Why? Although I ordered it in NOVEMBER 2005, I have yet to receive it! I have written many letters to no avail. However, I read another review for a product sold by Amazon that the purchaser had some problem with, and their problem got resolved when they wrote a bad review. That's all I'm trying to do here, really; simply get my problem resolved.
