The Satsuma Complex
I was introduced to Bob Mortimer not long ago by a friend. He does the kind of comedy I enjoy: Slapstick, often on the silly side. I love his show Gone Fishing, which he hosts with Paul Whitehouse, and I inhaled his biography And Away…
Too bad, The Satsuma Complex isn’t up there with Mortimer’s other work. The whole story is flat, and I repeatedly checked how many pages I had left to read. The book is fun and somewhat entertaining. Mortimer writes like he talks, which is why this book would work better as a movie or an audiobook read by Mortimer himself, putting on a different voice for each character.
