Never get tired of this book November 10, 2008
R. D. T. Griffiths (Woking, Surrey United Kingdom)
Glad to see this is still available. Spike -- how we miss him. Puckoon although rambling at times is so funny - the rambling in some ways makes it funnier. The movie based on the book is a must - buy both. Although there is a lot missing in the movie compared with the book it dosn't detract -they did a great job of getting a good plot in the movie (takes 2 or 3 viewings to get it - buts that the fun of it.
So much Goon type humour in the book(and movie) but with lots more os Spikes unique way of finding mundane ordinary things in life so funny - especially blowing apart the pomposity of officaldom

Few books I've read have made me laugh out loud ( the only other I can think of is "without feathers" by Woody Allen), this book will, if you read it on the train you'll get strange looks from other passangers.The plot may seem to jump from one thing to another but comes together in the end ,along the way there are some fantastic bits like the pub that has 2 prices for beer depending on which side of the border you are on, only Spike could think uo such an idea. Buy it and enjoy the mad ride.

A world without Milligan March 4, 2003

Even though Spike's comedy and success did not reach across the waters to the U.S., it was nice to go to bed thinking that someone like Spike was around. But now he's gone and oh, how he is missed! His humor is unsurpassed; and completly his own. Puckoon is a prime example, and a great introduction to his comedy. Puckoon is Milligan being Milligan. The novel moves along at a brisk pace, even when it seems little is happening. Reading everything coming together at the end is pure delight. I can't recommend this book enough... the only drawback is that it's so short it leaves you wanting more.
Classic Milligan has lost none of it's spark April 21, 2002

I read this for the first time when I was 15, and coming back to it I find that I'd forgotten how easy it is to lose yourself in the mad world of Milligan. Only an idiot would be concerned with the lack of plot in a book that bursts with energy and ideas like this does. Oh, and it's cripplingly funny too
