February The Fifth - Book Review

Would rate it 42 if I could...
Review By Natalie (Amazon Reader)

This review is from: February The Fifth (Kindle)

I really think this is the best Derek Haines book I have read so far. Would rate it 42 if I could...

I am not going to comment to much on the story, others are way better at it than me... Just giving you my personal overall opinion...

Derek Haines juggles with words, like others with balls. The mix of pythonesque and dry accuracy while describing the different characters is hilariously funny. And never boring, because short and precise, yet full of life.

Gloth and its history sounds so very familiar to any swiss person, that I came to think we might have inspired someone a wee bit, with all those laws and regulations, and dose boring pencil pushers etc....

The humoristic and imaginative narrative level is perfect for someone who likes well written, stories about humans in all their incarnations and states... because did we not all suffer from Acne once or twice...

And to those who think its just another Sci-Fi Novel I say: And the fab four where just another band...

February the fifth is like a song from Paul McCartney or a gag from Monty Python, it starts in one direction and leaves you in a totally different place, then you excepted. Love it!

So to You sir: I thank you deeply for bringing yourself and your work to my attention! This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
