Rancid Aluminium

'I have been racking my brains and I cannot remember a book I have read recently which made me laugh more, or as often, as James Hewes's Rancid Aluminium. Evelyn Waugh's Scoop and Tom Sharpe's Riotous Assembly did - but ages ago. It is therefore no exaggeration to say that Rancid Aluminium made me laugh more than anything I have read in the past ten years.' -- Mary Loudon, The Times
