About this listen
One by one, the old, rich nursery rhyme characters, who made their millions from the royalties on their best-selling rhymes, are being brutally slaughtered. The Toy City Police are getting nowhere. Bill Winkie, Private Eye, has also mysteriously vanished, leaving only his sidekick, Eddie Bear, to take care of business.
But Eddie's ready to take on the challenge and when he teams up with Jack, the two set out on a epic adventure. Not to mention a lot of heavy drinking, bad behaviour, fast car chases, gratuitous sex and violence, bizarre toy fetishism, and all-round grossness. Of a type not normally associated with Toy Town.

Teller of Tall Tales strikes again
I found this book really funny, and what is better is it's the author doing the narration of which he excels in.
There are quite a few laugh out loud parts and definately loads of wide smiles places.
Set in toytown which gives it a surreal setting, a soft slouch hat humorous tec novel and a joy to listen to.

Wonderful, Daft Fantasy
Back in 2003, Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse was my introduction to the wonderful, wild imagination of Robert Rankin, and years later, amongst all his hilarious books it's still my favourite. So join Jack and Eddie; boy escaping to seek his fortune and an alcoholic teddy bear as they try to stop the serial killer running amok in Toy City. On top of that, this audiobook is read by the author.

Wonderful!
Brilliant story, excellent reading by Robert Rankin. This is a must if you like teddy bears - Eddie Bear is perfect as the Chandlereque detective. Hopefully, you will be getting more of Robert Rankin's books on Audible, especially the sequel 'Toyminator'.

Film Noir in Toy Town
Robert Rankin has an excellent series of unabridged self read audio books available covering the massively inaccurately named Brentford Trilogy harrass the Audible staff to get them in. In the meantime however enjoy this stand alone story.
Roughly it splits into three parts an insane and hysterical fairy tale world (listen to the sample for an idea of this). A private eye story with Tom our hero teaming up with a drinken teddy bear to scour Toy City for the murderer of Humpty DUmpty (it's more fun than it sounds) and a final battle section which explaining will really mess up the books suprises.
This is really good fun an excellent introduction to Robert as botha writer and a reader though the interview at the end is a little bemusing if you've not heard or read any of his previous booksthat should in no way distract you from the main story.
Rankin is frequently compared with Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams and Neil Gaiman as always these comparisons flatter and decieve like the others he does something innovative and original in a style of his own but if you pick this up expecting to read a Terry Pratchett style of book you will of course be disapointed Rankin doesn't ape Pratchetts style but draws the reader into his own off kilter world in a similar manner with the logic behind its quirks and strangeness making it feel a solid place.
Pick it up and enjoy it is the best advice I can give you

far fetched fiction at it's best
Despite initial misgivings about author-delivered readings - having enjoyed the dramatised Brightonomicon - I was very impressed by the quality of the narrative, aided and abetted by subliminal noises off, which told this story beautifully.
Rankin never fails to hold my attention and fire my imagination, even in this case using toy town and nursery rhymes as its backdrop, with a twisting plot line fueling a willing suspension of disbelief.
