Book Review: The Satsuma Complex by Bob Mortimer

· 4 comments · 100 words

Book cover featuring a squirrel inside a satsuma.

This is delightful whimsy wrapped up in a sensible chuckle. The sort of gigglesome nonsense that washes over you and worms its way into your ears. There's a hint of caper, a soupçon of cosy crime, and a sprinkling of a love story.

And then there's a massive tonal shift where it all becomes rather menacing and a bit bleak.

Bob Mortimer's prose, pacing, and peculiarities are smashing. This is an enjoyable and entertaining way to spend a few hours. Beats chatting to squirrels, anyway.

Thanks to my brother for the recommendation.

Verdict
Great
