3.0 out of 5 stars
Not the best Rankin,
By nabnut@eircom.net (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: They Came and Ate Us: Armageddon II: The B-Movie (Paperback)
Being an avid Rankin reader, I was a bit disappointed about this follow-up to the excellent original. Armageddon II contains the trademark humour of all Rankin books, but has a poorly-planned, confused plot and an ending which ultimately makes the entire tome pointless. Worth a read but if you are new to Rankin "Sprout Mask Replica", the original Armageddon or even "Nostradamus Ate My Hamster" would be better to begin with. A note to all Hugo Rune fans: If you didn't know, he plays an active role in "The Book of Ultimate Truths". Read that NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Even funnier than the brilliant original!,
This review is from: They Came and Ate Us: Armageddon II: The B-Movie (Paperback)
The continuing adventures of Rex Mundi, Elvis and Barry the Time Sprout amongst others, which surpasses even the original which was hysterical. This is the funniest book of its type since The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The best parts of the book are the introductions to each chapter which seem to be totally unrelated to the story but gain more relevance as the book goes on; the best one with the two wildly differing accounts of Hugo Rune turning himself invisible. A must read if you like that sort of thing.

the funniest ever!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: They Came and Ate Us: Armageddon II: The B-Movie (Paperback)
This was one of the wittiest, and most comical books I have ever read. It made me laugh continuously from beginning to end. Much in the vein of Douglas Adams, and Terry Pratchett. Make sure to pick up the other two books in the series.
