[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 112346"] Picked up a couple of novels I had lying around by Robert Llewellyn recently, just so I could read something light and un-work related for a change. For those of you who don't recognise the name, he is the guy who played Kryten in [i]Red Dwarf[/i]. No I'm not making that up and yes he does write novels. Imagine his work in the style of Ben Elton, but slightly less satire, slightly more clear humour. They aren't classics by any stretch of the imagination, but definately keep you amused right until the end. My favourite has to be [i]Sudden Wealth[/i] although [i]The Man of Platform 5[/i] is also very enjoyable; firstly due to the fun of following the progression of the main character, the way class is clearly defined, and secondly because it is one of the few novels I have ever come across which is set in Northampton. Not exactly a glamourous backdrop (which is probably why the action does shift around a fair bit) but understandable considering Llewellyn grew up in N'hants, and I believe this was his first attempt at writing.
