Even though the title caused me to grab this book off the shelf, the story kept me interested throughout. Like other British novelists, Holt uses adverbs and qualifiers excessively, and every narrative situation happens as if we’re all sitting at tea. And come to think of it, the characters never did get around to pursuing sausages. Still, Holt had some marvelous ideas about the nature of time and space, and was able to weave them (if not a bit eccentrically) through the mysterious nature of the riddle “Which came first? Chicken or the egg?” Worth a read if you’re searching for fun and science fiction together.
