Publisher's summary

Tinker's Cottage nestles in a forgotten corner of deepest Somerset. It also happens to sit on a weak point in the space time continuum...which is somewhat unfortunate for Ian Faulkener, a graphic novelist from London, who was hoping for some peace and quiet in which to recuperate following a very messy breakdown.

It was the cats that first alerted Ian to the fact that something was not quite right with Tinker's Cottage...the cats and, of course, the Pope, disappearing literary agents, mislaid handymen and the insanity of Cherie Blair World. As Ian tries to untangle the mystery of the doors of Tinker's cottage, he risks becoming lost forever in the myriad alternate universes predicted by Schrödinger. Not to mention his cats.

Schrödinger's Cottage is a playful romp through a variety of alternate worlds peopled by an array of wonderful comic characters that are the trademark of David Luddington's novels.

For fans of the sadly missed Douglas Adams, Schrodinger's Cottage is a heartwarming comedy with touches of inspired lunacy that pays homage to The Hitchhiker's Guide.

Snidely, humorous!

The pace was exhausting but perhaps I am just not used to someone talking constantly for five hours or more

Fun, Interesting, Laid back

Just an enjoyable listen. Has a fun premise. As complex as some of the components in the story he does a great job of keeping things straight.

Why is the main character so dumb?

I'm about halfway through the book and I just cannot listen to this guy not understand the obvious things anymore it's just so irritating! and he writes comic books and he didn't understand the alternate reality thing like instantly.... Actually other than that irritation it's a pretty decent book the writing's okay the plot is good even if the pacing belabors the dude's dumbness ...you know.... okay I changed my mind I like this book now.

easy enjoyable listen while walking the dogs

Kept my attention althou it could be a bit slow in the story evolving . I also turned up the speed to 1.2 which I seem to be doing for most stories. Do not get turned off by the start of the story with the hallucination references.
