Of course I had loads of fun with this when it first appeared a few years back.

The gags, puns and cartoons were writing themselves.

Dropping this into my lap was like giving a clown a barrow load of custard pies.

David actually got in touch with me about it....He saw the funny side.
But felt it a tad unfair me reviewing a book I never read.

Of course it is, I knew that, I did end with:

I've just realised I've done something quite unforgivable.
I've condemned a book without even reading it.

I've taken some 2nd hand information and made merry with it.
It's not fair and it's not clever. I am ashamed.
(quite funny though).
