My Review of: Ralph and the Purple Fly

14/7/2014

Ralph and the Purple FlyRalph and the Purple Fly by Christopher Brunt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An excellent and rather mad account of a purple fly, a headless dog and the maddening state of endless ambition.

I found myself completely gripped by the final two chapters, slowing my reading pace hugely in an effort to cling to ever word and not miss a thing.

You will certainly have to be in the mood for something oddly intriguing to enjoy this; and do not mistake it for sci-fi, because that is far from what it is. The style hangs somewhere between a Franz Kafka modernist tale and something written by H G Wells. There really is a traditional element to this rather mad book, which you may want to cling to like a life raft!?! :]

While this is not a genre I would generally read I would highly suggest giving this a go. It a great read.

I'll be contacting the author this week to see if he'd like to come and do an author Q&A with me. Fingers crossed he'll join us. Keep an eye out for updates.
