In helping young Door, who unbeknown to Richard, has otherworldly (magic) skills, Richard also becomes one of the 'non-people' to those of the 'normal' world, London Above. Poor Richard, a young businessman, minding his own business and going out for the evening with his somewhat managing girlfriend, Jessica, takes pity on an injured young ragamuffin of a girl, much to Jessica's disgust. The book holds your interest and is a very clever piece of writing. ![]() However, I wouldn't class it as such, if anything it reminded me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. On the book cover blurb it states that it is Monty Pythonish, I have always hated Monty Python, so that initially put me off. However, on beginning to read this I was hooked. I like my fantasy to be 'otherworld', sword and sorcerer. I read this book for my book club and was unsure, when it was allocated as a book to read, as I'm not that keen on Urban fantasy. I'll keep this review shortish as other reviewers have adequately covered it. ![]()
