"The Japanese Devil Fish Girl (***1/2) is pretty much Another Robert Rankin novel, although shorn of connections to his other books it's a little bit more accessible to newcomers. But there is definitely the feeling that here he had a chance to break free of his comfort zone and write a more interesting story using steampunk trappings, but didn't do it. Instead he does his normal thing and does it well."
It's been a while since I've read a Rankin. This looks like a good book to get back into it. Its hard to find decent fantasy humor and Rankin can be relied on to deliver the goods.
