review 1: I am a committed fan of Colin Bateman and especially love the Mystery Man series. This book is the fourth in that series and although there were some hugely funny moments/lines and the main characters are really developing, I feel this lost its way slightly in some parts. The epilogue was bizarre....I'm not sure I really understood what was going on! :-/ An enjoyable enough read but not really comparable to the others in the series to be honest.
review 2: When you're down and weary, and you need a hand to hold ... just reach out for a Bateman book. The prisoner of Brenda will make your (face) cheeks ache from smiling and your ribs hurt from the belly laughs. Best read alone to avoid the 'just listen to this bit, just listen to this other bit' phenomena. What I ... moretook from this story is that electro-convulsive therapy is an effective, albeit temporary, treatment for hypochondria. I'm not sure if I preferred our Mystery Man with or without his hang-ups but Bateman has given me lots of new ideas for general misbehaviour. I particulalry enjoyed the breaking of all the forks in Purdysburn because I agree that plastic cutlery is an abomination. Looking forward to the next Bateman. less
