Bev and us bears have just finished listening to Robert Rankin's book "Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse", and we loved it to bits. This is mostly due to the hero, Eddie Bear, a teddy detective who has become our role model - he is a hard-drinking, bearess-chasing, Chandleresque private eye in Toy City with an excellent human side-kick called Jack. It is lots of fun, very rude in places and and definitely not a children's book - this is a grown-up bears' book full of fast car chases, gratuitous sex, explosions and some fairly gruesome murders.
We're off to get the sequel - Toyminator. If it's as good as the Hollow Chocolate Bunnies, then we are in for a treat.
