Here´s the story: A guy has been in love with a girl in a 400-year-old painting since he was 10 years old. Now he´s 30, and he buys a lock of the girl´s original hair at an auction, and he wants to have her cloned. And then - things start to get weird....
This story takes so many u-turns and is so incredibly strange and funny, it makes no sense what so ever to tell you more about it without spoiling it. Read it, it´s great fun!

Memorable quotes:
"If God had intended us to take taxis, he wouldn´t have authorised the Devil to create London Transport."
"David was no geographer, and wasn´t really sure where British Columbia was, though the conflicting resonances within the name itself intrigued him. (BRITISH Columbia: stronghold of bowler-hatted tea-drinking cocaine barons?)"
"Well, he´d faced greater challenges before. He´s installed Windows2000 without consulting the manual; more impressive still, he´s installed Windows2000 WITH the assistence of the manual (...)"
AND, THE REALLY MOST IMPORTANT ONE: "RIVET, RIVET, ARK ARK!"

I love Tom Holt´s books - the historic novels as much as the comic fantasy novels. But I really had a hard time with this one. The story is great: three kids hack the fairy land system Mirrors 3.1 and cause a crash of the database, and things start to go wrong in the Wicked Queen´s domain.
I think this time Tom Holt has just overdone it - too many great ideas, too many aspects of the plot, too many hillarious characters etc. Also, I had troubles understanding some of the references (never before in my life had I heard of the"Jack and Jill" nursery rhyme). So I would recommend this book only to people who are familiar with english versions of fairy tales and nursery rhymes, or whoose English is much better than mine :-)

EXTRACT:
"(...) the wicked queen turned away freom her reflection in the mirror, slid back a hidden panel in the wall and switched on the power. The surface of the glass began to glow blue. (...) Somewhere behind the glass, mist started to swirl. (...) The ball of mist had become a head; an elderly man, white-haired and deeply lined, with cold blue eyes and a cruel mouth, but with an air of such dreadful loneliness and despair that even the queen, who had put him there in the first place, never liked looking at him for too long. At first he appeared in profile; then his face moved round until his eyes met hers.
"Running DOS", he said. "Please wait."
He vanished, and his place was taken by a brightly coloured cartoon image of a spider spinning a web.

Tom Holt ist einer der witzigen Fantasy Parodisten. Seine historisch angehauchten Romane sind gut recherchiert aber nicht immer Ernst zu nehmen.
Ein Haufen Wikinger im Museum? Wenn Sie wissen wollen, weshalb es das zwanzigste Jahrhundert überhaupt gibt - in diesem Roman finden Sie die einzig logische Erklärung.
Und das auf herzerfrischend vergnügte Weise.
