Summary: Absolutely Milligan at his best
Comment: It has been many years since I last saw my well-thumbed copy of Puckoon. Now, exiled in the United States, I am searching Amazon.com for that perfect gift for my wife. She's one of those Americans who thinks she's Irish. Puckoon would be the perfect gift for her. I still remember laughing until I cried at the antics of the characters in Puckoon. There is no doubt that Spike Milligan has written one of the funnies books ever written about Ireland. I hope that my children will one day be able to both read and appreciate this book. Spike Milligan has written many books, all of them good, but Puckoon will always stand out in my mind. Reading Puckoon is like having your own personal Spike Milligan in the room with you. Rick Barnes.

Summary: When I was 12 years old, God sent me Puckoon.
Comment: I love this book to death and my admiration for Milligans manic and surreal humour is surpassed by no other. But to put into context the comedy element of this book I have to tell a story. My father gave me a well thumbed copy of this book when I was twelve yeras old and frankly it was a revelation. I was in bed reading it and found one particular passage so amusing I started to laugh the ubiquitous 'out loud'. I laughed and laughed and laughed hysterically for a good five or six minutes. This was the kind of laughter which if observed by a pediatrician would have been diagnosed as symptomatic of my good self going right round the royal bend. Anyhows I laughed so long, so loud and so hard, my parents rushed up to my bedroom believing I was asphixiating in my sleep. This story is absolutely true. Ask my dad. God bless Milligan. Read this and die laughing.

Summary: Short and sweet
Comment: Oh, how Spike Milligan is missed! His humor is unsurpassed; and completly his own. 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.
