Here is a must-read novel by a local writer that warms the cockles of one’s heart. It is filled with characters, computers, guardian angels and incidents that have one laughing out loud while absorbing some of the world’s greatest philosophic truths about human fallibility and frailty. It is highly entertaining with a motley collection of likeably hilarious characters and profound ideas so skilfully and politically incorrectly introduced that the reader is swept along in high good humour by the sheer ingenuity of the plot and its people. I thoroughly enjoyed the collection of oddballs (an assortment of Kiwi screwballs, saints and sinners) that populate this clever cross between a detective story and the esoteric possibility of there being guardian angels helping us mere mortals along our daily stumbling way. The accidental hero has a close encounter with one of these helpers that has him and the reader joined in a delightful journey of riotous twists and turns that keep one entertained to the very end.
