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.

Not for me
I found this hard going. Far too much time spent on establishing the effects of the cottage; I nearly gave up because very little happens in about the first two thirds of the book. The last part was better but I won’t be listening to this author again. Nigel Planer’s voice characterisations were stereotypical in the extreme; both he and the author appear to believe that people who live in south west England have few brain cells, no idea of how to use them and speak like Wurzel Gummage.

The best book I've listened to in a long while
It started out as a little odd but what a story, I haven't laughed like that for ages. The characters are delightful, the story line quite bizarre and Nigel Planer narrating was just the perfect choice. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

great story
I live in Somerset, and was a bit confused when one of the characters appeared to get to Glastonbury from Islington via the M5, that could have been me miss hearing, but otherwise loved it and will be passing on to friends

A strange protagonist for a comedic novel
I think the book is probably funnier than the performance. The narrator played an always nearly off the rails protagonist just right— an l hard-boiled kindof guy. This is probably what the author intended but a reluctant hero who might have an alcohol induced fearful, angry and paranoid psychotic break (the backstory for the protagonist) is a little nerve wracking. I personally find hapless reluctant heroes funnier. Other than that most of the other positive reviews hit the nail on the head. It’s an easy, sometimes funny story with a lot of pub food.

I liked the concept
It could have gone on forever, but the ending sort of jumped out at me. It feels unresolved
