Once I got into the rhythm of the writing, and I think it toned down as the story progressed too, there were plenty of snicker worthy moments. I've got a couple of others in the series, but these are the kind of books you definitely need to space out..
I would say definitely not - but ... do you like Monty Python? I don't know... maybe if you're desperate and the library has them? But I think they're definitely not for most people.
