House of the Spirit-levels
Nick Revell
A very silly book, but also clever and observant. A bit
over-the-top. Gets more preposterous as it goes on. Set in South
America and Yorkshire - and other countries. Worth a read -
original and easy to read.

Andrew had also read this book and found it ‘completely
stupid’. The book starts with a Yorkshireman who arrives in
a South American village and starts to tell his life story to the
people he meets in the bar. The story moves to Yorkshire and the
author tries to transpose the magic realism style to Yorkshire.
An easy read, an amusing diversion - ‘but it didn’t
make me laugh‘.

Bob got only as far as the 60-page cut-off. A laboured book
trying to be funny.
