Reviews

[Steve Sheppard · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book will worm its way into your affections. Attack of the Terror Worms is pure satire at its finest and most straightforward… but with worms and with tongue stuffed firmly into its cheek, although I don’t know if worms have cheeks as such. Why worms? Who knows, but somehow it works. Our Welsh (anti)hero, O Salmon Bryn Lardon (yep), having witnessed (spoiler alert) the horrific murder of his parents on a fishing trip, sets out on a life of crime and terrorism, first in London and then Snowdonia, meeting various murky animal-based life-forms along the way. Imaginative and huge fun if you don’t take it (or yourself) too seriously. Full of jokes and puns, many of which work. Oh, and I loved the drawings: the author is a talented cartoonist.
