Publisher's Summary:
A gloriously mad desert island romp - complete with zombies, walrus pirates and a talking goldfish called Albie.
Like Robinson Crusoe on acid, it follows the adventures of Isaac, a shipwrecked sailor whose boat is sunk by a excess of radio sound effects and is then washed up in a tropical paradise where warring tribes compete to pay homage to a giant Sea beast called Gary.
A fast-paced gag fest which is a splendid mix of music hall and surreal nonsense, which is fresh, intriguing and laugh-out-loud funny.
Members Reviews:
Too silly
This was the last of the five . Not impressed, not very funny. If I had paid for these I'd want a refund.
Eh...
Slightly reminiscent of Hitchhiker's Guide, but not quite in that league. Made me chuckle in a few places, but mostly groan throughout the listening.
What was this supposed to be?
Would you try another book from Dewi Llywelyn and/or the narrators?
The narrators, maybe. Dewi Llywelyn, no.
What was most disappointing about Dewi Llywelyns story?
It wasn't least bit funny or engaging. Sounded like an attempt by a seven-year-old to channel Monty Python or Douglas Adams where only every fiftieth word came through.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?
No one different. They just had awful material to work with.
You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No.
Any additional comments?
It was an attempt at something, I just don't know what.
Beautifully executed...pun intended.
Loved the characterisation, the asides, the absurdity, Cuppy.
Didn't go in for the gruesome stuff much....as we all know, what you imagine is waaaaay worse than what you see and so some of the descriptions were quite hard to listen to. I'm a wimp, yes....but I would have loved to go with you on this swashbuckling journey AND still be able to eat my lunch.
Please make more but this time, hold the disembowelling:)
Cynical deployment of tasteless tricks
If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
Adolescents
Would you ever listen to anything by Dewi Llywelyn again?
it could not be worse
Which character as performed by the narrators was your favourite?
I had no interest in the fortunes of any of them
You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No
Any additional comments?
The trouble with fantasy is that any plot twist or character development is possible but it should never be as random as this
