Book Review: Twits Hit the Target
Twits Hit the Target: A Steampunk Distraction by Tom Alan Robbins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was pleased to see a new addition to the Twits Chronicles, just before Christmas. So of course I bought myself a present!
As usual, Binky’s got women troubles — though at least this time around he hasn’t fallen hopelessly in love, but that doesn’t mean he’s off the hook. You see, Cyril has a cunning plan involving poor Binky to help newlyweds Pansy and Alice reconcile after their first lovers quarrel… and it’s foolproof! Which, of course means we are in for a hilarious ride as events play out badly in the over the top fashion we’ve come to expect whenever Cyril get a notion into his head.
While you can read this story as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the entire series from the start. These are novellas and won’t take up a lot of your time. I love the droll wit, the mindset of the absurdly rich protagonist, and the goofball characters that populate this addlepated reality.
