Book Review of The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything

The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything
reviewed The funniest book I have ever read on + 6 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


I read this book over thirty years ago and several scenes are so memorable (read hysterically funny) that they are etched in my memory. It is the funniest book I have ever read by a wide margin. The downtrodden, gentle Kirby and his new girlfriend get delicious revenge over some evil bad guys using the magic watch that Kirby's inventor grandfather willed him.

This is like nothing else MacDonald ever wrote and it is a comic classic.
