Two wild minds
I cannot help but laugh but in equal measure think to myself.....do charlie and frankie need help? An intervention fulled mind mess of a book. Joyous at times. Laugh out loud funny at others. Mostly you think to yourself.....are they okay??

Listened from my ditch
Hail Zendeya.
What a ballad of words to keep me company as I wait for the bomb drones. It's a hilarious listen that has HBO level story.

Perfect
Exactly what I imagine the future to be, thanks Frankie and Charlie for confirming what my now dead grandchildren are telling me isn’t complete bollox.

Repugnant
Everything I have come to expect. If you enjoyed the end monologues in New World Order, this is exactly the sort of thing you will enjoy listening to.

An Insanely Fumny Glimpse Into The Future
Although I'd hate to live through Frankie & Charlie's account of what lies ahead for humanity (especially if I was Sir Richard Branson) I found their story non-stop hilarious. Found myself laughing out loud many times at the total madness as it unfolded. Frankie's deadpan delivery throughout the audiobook made every crazy thing sound so much crazier. I can't think of anyone else better suited to do the job. Fingers crossed Frankie & Charlie are able to 'return' and release another book to continue their stories of their adventures through time (and their visits to further restaurants). Highly recommended book.

It's funny and weird. If you like that then listen.
Confusing, meandering, hilarious and a nice distraction from the fact that living in Glasgow is only slightly less grim than the apocalyptic world in the book. Frankie's voice, accents and singing are gorgeous. Really enjoyed the book.

Loved this
It’s kinda like the dark little screeds at the end of New World Order but with a narrative and stretched out to an absolutely hilarious degree.

Hilarious
laugh out loud funny. Frankie’s voice is strangely soothing in a disturbing way. A good dose of madness to make you feel a bit more sane.

Unforgettable
Hoping for an Alien sequel following the exploits of the silvery cackling Branson worm, Dicky B. 😱
