Summary: One of the funniest books you're likely to ever read.
Comment: I've read and re-read this book at least a half-dozen times in the past 30 years. Parts still reduce me to helplessly uncontrolled laughter. Superb spoof of the James Bond type spy genre of the 1960s. As funny today as when new, like most of Sheckley's early material.

Summary: Great! - forget about Douglas Addams - read this instead!
Comment: This is just about the most hilarious book I have ever read. And I have read most of the stuff by Addams and Pratchet. It is about a typical guy who is looking for a job and sort of accidentally ends up as an alleged super agent of a very secret secret agency. He then is supposed to extract a communist defector from Venice. This turns out to be most difficult and (for the reader) funny.

Summary: OUTSTANDING BOOK!
Comment: I read this book as a teenager, read it again and again, and finally got rid of it because I thought I had memorized it. That was over 20 years ago and I would really love to read it again! The author's descriptive capabilities will have you rolling with laughter, so make sure you're not standing up when you read it.
