REVIEWS 'After five minutes of reading... you'll be too busy wetting your pants with laughter... Rankin's style is unique and very unlike his current contemporaries... if you're in the mood for a book that will deliver on the laughs (and proper belly laughs, mind you) whilst still being literate as any 'serious' fiction out there, the 'The Witches of Chiswick' is for you.'SF CROWSNEST TOUR/EVENTS Robert's tour will now be supported by Waterstones who will be producing their own POS and adverts.
