Publisher's Summary

Tinker's Cottage nestles in a forgotten corner of deepest Somerset. It also happens to sit on a weak point in the space time continuum...which is somewhat unfortunate for Ian Faulkener, a graphic novelist from London, who was hoping for some peace and quiet in which to recuperate following a very messy breakdown.

It was the cats that first alerted Ian to the fact that something was not quite right with Tinker's Cottage...the cats and, of course, the Pope, disappearing literary agents, mislaid handymen and the insanity of Cherie Blair World. As Ian tries to untangle the mystery of the doors of Tinker's cottage, he risks becoming lost forever in the myriad alternate universes predicted by Schrödinger. Not to mention his cats.

Schrödinger's Cottage is a playful romp through a variety of alternate worlds peopled by an array of wonderful comic characters that are the trademark of David Luddington's novels.

For fans of the sadly missed Douglas Adams, Schrodinger's Cottage is a heartwarming comedy with touches of inspired lunacy that pays homage to The Hitchhiker's Guide.

Strange but humorous

Loved this book even though it was abit weird. The sense of humour of the main character is hilarious. The narrator was great.

Clever and hilarious with a hint of Neil

I loved the story! reminded me very much of Sir Terry Pratchett. And Nigel Planer narrates the book expertly.

It's a nice, fun story

I really enjoyed this story. Narration and the writing were good quality. I felt that the voice acting as on point, and i often found myself laughing out loud at work while listening to the story. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you.

This was a fun book ,Nigel Planner's narration suited the characters very well. Was a cute and silly story. The writer had some very amusing turns of phrase.

Quirky

Something quirky and fun. Not what I usually listen to, glad I did. More fantasy than sci-fi.

Quirky storyline. Great humour.

Loved the satire. Definitely one for people who like more alternative stories. Clever plot line with some interesting characters. Great narration.

Everything

Absolutely brilliant. One of the best books I have read so far. David Luddington takes one on an extraordinary journey and the narrator really does a fabulous job in bringing the story to life.

Sheer Brilliance

I loved every moment of this booknand was sad when it ended. The characters were loveable and the story was a hoot. A new favourite author for me. loved his writing style.

Fun and intelligent.

Luddington once again encapsulates the intelligence of British humour. Often compared to the infamous Douglas Addams, the absurd and hilarious continue to inspire.
