A Dog called Demolition

I was given this book as an introduction to Robert Rankin.  I read it.  That's probably the best that can be said.  It's a nice science fantasy idea but the execution of the no beginning, middle and end story just doesn't work.  I didn't really get to care about any of the characters, except perhaps the one who died near the beginning (at the end of the beginning?)
Some of the 'music hall' humour was out of place, some of the other humour has already dated.  The ending was more Monty Python than a fantasy story, and so hugely disappointing.
