Count Luna

I thought this was going to be right up my street (whoever wrote the blurb for this new Penguin edition needs a pay rise), but the reality proved to be a little disappointing. There are a few too many longueurs and digressions for a short book, but fundamentally it's just not as weird as I was hoping and expecting. There is a nice vein of pitch black comedy throughout, which helps, but ultimately I wanted something more fantastical.
