I read the description of this book and I was fascinated by the concepts that seemed almost 'thrown together'. Although a bit apprehensive ( I thought it was going to be a Marmite book ) I delved in with my mind open and I'm SO glad I did.

The narrator has a fantastic sense of humour, and I greatly related him to my partner in many ways. One of the things that I loved about this book was the writing style and the scientific mind of the narrator. He delves into so many different subjects that aren't specifically related to the story at hand, or the book in general, but in such a way that you end up being able to relate to this man's strange idea of logistics and how subjects link together.

Normally I get a little frustrated when you can read one paragraph from one tense and then read the next from another, however, the way that Andrew Davidson has written it is so seamless that it flows like you're remembering these images yourself.

The story is awesome and the characters perfectly suited to this wacky, almost 'make believe' setting. I really felt like I was in the room, listening to Marianne tell her stories of love and woe.

This is a book that, once read, will stay with you for a long time.

The Gargoyle is beautiful in it's gruesomeness and I loved every page of it.
