Synopsis

Once upon a time Jack set out to find his fortune in the big city. But the big city is Toy City, formerly known as Toy Town, and it has grown considerably since the good old days and isn't all that jolly any more. And there is a serial killer loose on the streets. The old, rich nursery rhyme characters are being slaughtered one by one and the Toy City police are getting nowhere in their investigations. Meanwhile, Private Eye Bill Winkie has gone missing, leaving behind his sidekick Eddie Bear to take care of things.

Eddie may be a battered teddy with an identity crisis, but someone's got to stop the killer. When he teams up with Jack, the two are ready for the challenge. Not to mention the heavy drinking, bad behaviour, car chases, gratuitous sex and violence, toy fetishism and all-round grossness along the way. It's going to be an epic adventure!

For examp......more

Goodreads review by Tracey on September 09, 2007

How could you possibly resist a title like The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse? I was thrilled when the library finally got a copy & read thru it in about a day. [I've since bought my own copy] Jack, a rather gangly young man, seeks his fortune. After a rather harrowing encounter with a fa......more

Goodreads review by Stephen on July 07, 2018

Are feeling deppresed? Are stuck in rut? Are you looking for inelegant book ? Well two out of three isn't bad. The Lonny as Chocolate tea pot brings another insane book. The title along gives you an idea that is NOT series book but side splitting wet your knickers book. If this does not cheer you up you......more

Goodreads review by Gina on March 15, 2008

Brilliant. I read this book in a matter of hours. I couldn't put it down. It wasn't brain candy, (sweet, light, fun but if you read too much you run the risk of mental cavities), and this wasn't great literature, but it was fun, innovative & well written. I'm looking forward to reading more of his wo......more

Goodreads review by Noah on April 02, 2007

Robert Rankin is my favorite author who isn't distributed in the US. While this may sound like faint praise, I really do enjoy his work. It's silly, surreal, and thoroughly British; riddled with in-jokes and ex parte asides to the reader. If someone dipped into my head and wrote books based on what......more
