A quick and wildly enjoyable read. Let your imagination go nuts with the whole "they're stuffed animals" thing - it makes for an adult Aardman kind of adventure. It's a classic noir tale, complete with gangsters and lost youths, deceitful dames and shady authority figures. It's a whole lot of fun and absolutely fascinating. I can't wait to read the next books in the quartet. Go to this when you want something that hits you both on an elemental childhood level and that engages your higher thought processes - all with the wrapping of a great heist film. And then get sucked in and enjoy the stuffed ride.More thoughts at RB: http://wp.me/pGVzJ-kZ
