Sea Otters gambolling in the wild, wild surf

I must say that I’ve read some weird books in my time but I’ve just finished reading one that must take the cake. I started reading the novel two days ago and have just finished reading the 260 or so pages of the oddest storey I’ve read (including those with characters such as Orks or Wizards)! This story by John Bennett involved a 16 year old kid who’s just sat his ‘A’ levels. He finds an odd plastic statue in a 99p shop. The statue, a balding man shagging a pink, glittery otter, intrigues him so much that he flies around the world trying to find out why it was made. It was written the way a 16 year old would speak so it took a little getting used to, even more than the implausible and ridiculous journey he goes on. The book was total crap, but the odd thing was that I couldn’t stop reading it. Sea Otters gambolling in the wild, wild surf certainly makes me think though. It would be great to just get up one morning and head away from everything on some pointless quest. Maybe I just need a holiday!
