The Toyminator, Robert Rankin

This being the second book of the series, I must say that I read it first and can’t find the first book (The Hollow Chocolate bunnies of the Apocalypse). But I’ll review this anyway. It happens in Toy City, where an ex-mayor and unsuccessful detective teddy bear, named Eddie, starts wandering why all the toys of Toy City are, well, combusting, and if touched turn to dust. So does his sidekick Jack – a human (don’t ask! I haven’t read the first book!). And so, through thorough investigating, they land in a new world, a new place. A ‘new’ place we call Los Angeles. And so, Eddie and Jack start investigating, again.

            What they uncover is not what you expect. Area 52, deep in the Arizonian desert, is run by lethal, unsurpassable-by-intelligence chickens. The chickens you eat at fast food stores are all clones of extremely smart chickens. Not what you expect to find in a book.

            Of course, this is an adult’s book and there may be some inappropriate things. Well, there are inappropriate things….

            But oh well, great, hilarious, imaginative read! 7/10 star rating.

            And I’m open to opinions on the first book as well!
