The Uncynical Cannibal
Summary
A gloriously mad desert island romp - complete with zombies, walrus pirates and a talking goldfish called Albie.
Like Robinson Crusoe on acid, it follows the adventures of Isaac, a shipwrecked sailor whose boat is sunk by a excess of radio sound effects and is then washed up in a tropical paradise where warring tribes compete to pay homage to a giant Sea beast called Gary.
A fast-paced gag fest which is a splendid mix of music hall and surreal nonsense, which is fresh, intriguing and laugh-out-loud funny.

Dreadful
Was this written in the early hours of the morning while under the influence? A loaded of unfunny tosh.

Couldn't stick with it to the end

Probably a longer book.

Sorry, really did not enjoy this
Maybe I was just the wrong audience for this. It did nothing for me. Sorry.

I switched off after 5 minutes
couldn't tell you anything about this 'comedy' as after 5 minutes my brain had had enough of the tedium and switched to neutral. Back to the drawing board for the writer

Didn't tickle my funnybone
I liked the concept but it didn't make me laugh, or even smile. Sorry, not for me.

Not my cup of tea
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It was 30 minutes of my life I won't get back. I found it a difficult listen, I wanted to enjoy it but, well, but
Would you recommend The Uncynical Cannibal to your friends? Why or why not?
I would not recommend it anyone other than a complete stranger, and then anonymously
Which scene did you most enjoy?
If there was any on point that made me smirk it was when the talking goldfish turned up
Was The Uncynical Cannibal worth the listening time?
No
Any additional comments?
I cannot see this as a series. It reminded me of a 1970s rag week magazine written by the young ones, and I don't mean the actors but their characters.

Witty, Clever and Unusual
Any additional comments?
I most definitely am not the market these comedies are written for but, having downloaded them, I feel obliged to comment. However, having said that, I can still appreciate the witty and clever writing skills of the authors.
Of the five, I preferred, Working For The Big Man, but I must be honest and say, were they produced as a full length book, I would not buy any of them.

No
Didn't engage me, found it annoying, possibly trying too hard. Perhaps I'm not in a sufficiently receptive mood, but just not for me.

Disappointing and disjointed.
I was hoping for a goonesque half hour but unfortunately it was more like a chuckle brothers disaster.
