A Dog Called Demolition

De: Robert Rankin

Narrado por: Robert Rankin

Danny: The portrait of a surreal killer. Each one of us has an invisible space alien perched upon our shoulders controlling our thoughts. This is not a good thing!

Danny used to be a sad and lonely man, but now he is happy. Because now Danny has a dog of his very own. A nice big dog with a waggy tail and a smiley face. The dog’s name is Demolition but only Danny can see him.

Men from The Ministry of Serendipity are monitoring Danny’s every move. They have a special agent on the case, his name is Parton Vrane and he is half man and half cockroach.

Described as a nightmare journey to Hell and back, with only a brief stop off at a KFC for a quick bucket of grub and a visit to the toilet, A Dog Called Demolition is a genuine horror story. Where Silence of the Lambs and Seven merely dipped their toes in terror’s icy waters, Robert Rankin boldly takes off his lurex sock and really puts his foot in it.

A fun listen….

Love a story line that can’t be figured out and never a sleepy moment! Great narration!!! Thank you! On to the next! Glad I found you Robert. :)

Great Narrator!

sometimes the writer isn't the best narrator, he did. splendid job with all of the different characters.

absolute pleasure

funny stuff. a crazy mix up of insanity. Rankin has such a great sense of humor.

Genius

Completely, but not utterly, insanely funny. Rankin may not be a genius as such, but he’s clearly a genius of sorts. As unlikely as it may seem, he’s also the best narrator for his own work imaginable, proving once and for all that, if it’s mind bogglingly nutty weird and strangely funny, it comes from England. The great thing about this being an audiobook is that you don’t have to put up with any of that bizarre spelling the British can’t seem to overcome. No offense intended, I’m just sayin’.

6 stars for performance

Read with such vim and vigour, an absolute joy to listen to. A good story with a healthy dose of wit. I am usually hesitant to listen to a book read by the author (blame Lawrence block for that) but Mr. Rankin surprised me with one of the best performances I’ve experienced with audible. I will be getting all his books. If he narrates a owner’s manual for a microwave I’ll be getting that too.

Funny, horror-filled, perfect reading

what more is there to say? but audible will make me keep writing until I

Scary?

I chose this because it was supposed to be scary. It wasn't. An okay listen, but not as advertised.

Excellent Narration

I really enjoyed the quality of the narration. It added enjoyment to an excellent story.

FUNNY!

As silly and random as cosmic banditos, with a Monty Python twist. Such a hard-hitting soundtrack, much wow.

Fun listen!

I wasn't sure if I'd like this book, based off the title and description, but the story and narration were fun. Old tropes, new story and setting with a dry sense of humor, tied together in a well-paced work. Just listen carefully to catch the wit and references.
