Review of Blotto, Twinks and the Stars of the Silver Screen by Simon Brett

I've read several of the Blotto and Twinks books, and enjoyed them all.  The main characters are exaggerations of stereotypes of the English aristocracy, and totally unbelievable.  Twinks is described as brilliant intellectually, and breathtakingly beautiful.  Blotto, her brother, is good at cricket, driving his car, and riding his horse, but dumber than a box of rocks.  He is also extremely brave (willing to take on multiple armed gangsters with only a cricket bat), and doesn't even realize he is in danger.

In spite of this, I have read several of the books and find them all entertaining (in a weird way).  Probably says more about me than about the books themselves.
