Lawnmowers, Inc. is London’s biggest (read: only) cattle-powered garden maintenance corporation. But when his Holstein mascot, Lily, is kidnapped, celebrity CEO Daniel Wesley joins reclusive witch Cynthia Pannettière to uncover a conspiracy that threatens to rewrite their pasts and destroy their futures. With a detective hunting a werewolf in Camden Market, a coven of magi running London's biggest news channel, and a reporter desperate to expose a public scandal, it's only a matter of time before the city discovers both the fate of the bovine superstar, and the existence of magic itself...

5,0 su 5 stelle Fantastic and Intriguing
Recensito in India il 6 marzo 2017

P.J. Benny is a fresh talent and has an imagination par ordinary. This novel is a mix of magic, relationships, human behaviour as well as subtle love and friendship. It was hard to believe how the climax fell in place, piece by piece and I was left wondering, how could someone think of a fantasy world with such intent intricacy.

Go out and buy this book because each page challenges the limits of your imagination.

Book Synopsis
A grown-up version of Harry Potter meets Sherlock Holmes, Benney's magical world of timeless wonder is truly a phenomenal read.

In this time-travel fantasy novel, an unlikely bunch is thrown together to solve the mystery of the missing Holstein when local celebrity Daniel Wesley's bovine mascot disappears into thin air at a yearly festival. Throw in an out of work cop on the hunt for a werewolf, and a witch who feels responsible in a roundabout way, and you're in for one wild adventure full of twists and turns, not necessarily in that order.

My Review
5 STARS

What Worked:
There are a lot of great things to say about this book. First of all, the writing is hilarious. I can't even count how many times I commented "lol" from my Kindle, and this is all the way throughout. In fact, I found the entire book to be consistently well-written, both in grammar and plot, throughout as well. The story kept moving, the pacing was spot on, and I was hooked from start to finish.

There are so many characters in this book that I just love, and you get to follow a good number of them throughout the story. I think my favorite character of all would have to be Absolom, the Sempiternal, who has lived a great many lifetimes. Although, even more brilliant, is the character of History itself, who makes numerous appearances like some kind of living being who watches down on all things as they happen, happened, or will happen... for time is relative, you know?

I love how this book makes you really have to think! And just when you think you've got things figured out, here comes a twist and you've got to keep reading to find out what happens next.

The end of the book, while it tied up the biggest issue at hand, still left some things open to transition nicely into a second book, which I will definitely be looking for.

What Could Use Some Work:
In all honesty, the cover of the book was not very appealing to me, nor was the title, though now that I've read it, I can see how they both sort of fit. I think with at least a 2nd edition cover, this book would be flying off the shelves or climbing its way up the Amazon best seller charts.

Overall, I think we can expect great things from Mr. Benney, and I will definitely be watching for his new releases in the future... which some may say has already happened. ;)

5,0 su 5 stelle Urban farmyard meets urban fantasy.

'Thus she struggled to keep her business in the black, her research on track, and her boyfriend – well, alive would do.'

Imagine a world in which the works of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Mike Carey and J.K. Rowling had a mutual lovechild. Then imagine it was not quite so polished as those renowned and illustrious forebears but still very funny and insightful, passionate, occasionally very dark and always unpredictable - and rather subtly pro-vegan. Then you'll begin to get something of the flavour of Déjà Moo. It is one of the most wonderful books I have read in recent times and is of the sort that makes me wish I had a louder voice to hail it out there

'We’re a city of misfits and cultures, travellers, performers and artists.'

A witch with a boyfriend who is addicted to bad magical practices gets together with a businessman who has built an empire on showing the world cows have much more to offer than milk and meat - they make awesome lawnmowers. Throw in an ex-detective, a wicked witch, an elderly couple of wise mages, a secret order of magical monks - and a fair few more fascinating and fallible characters, then stir well with some mix-ups in the time stream of reality.

'Daniel thought there was something to be said for good intentions.'

What I really liked about this book is that it is that rare breed of urban fantasy that actually has faith in people. Yes, it shows the negative side of the human condition in often dark and very funny ways, but it also highlights that in us all which is always striving to do the right thing. Even the most fallen amongst us can want to make things better and be willing to make real sacrifices to try and make amends. It is gloriously, humanly optimistic and History itself will stand witness to this (as long as you remember to give it a capital letter).

If you like your urban fantasy melded with laughter and pathos, you will love Déjà Moo. It is a book which has a heart and a soul - and I want to read more of its siblings as soon as they are available.

4,0 su 5 stelle The Future is Cow
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 30 maggio 2020
Acquisto verificato
A breezy amalgam of magic, urban fantasy and nerdist comedy. Taking in time travel, witchcraft, lycanthropy, and bovine disappearance, the novel begins very promisingly. We are introduced to the rather unremarkable Daniel, who as CEO of a company specialising in keeping cows munching and lawns low has found himself in possession of a rather awkward celebrity status. To his horror a dastardly event rips him apart from his beloved main cow. With cows being found in creepy death poses, with no real explanation why, he fears the worst. So begins the search for what has really happened, or is happening, or is going to happen, to his favourite cow.

Now, I was ready to like this novel, as I’m a sucker for a sufficient pun, and Déjà Moo is punnage of the fine sort. Overall there is as much to like as dislike, so I’m torn regarding this one. The writing has a freshness and light sense of quippery, and the characters are distinct in their eccentricities. This is all great and entertaining. But there is some stuff I didn’t get along with quite so much. The novel succumbs to a lot of meandering, both plotwise and characterwise. It felt that as soon as I started to become invested in a character they were dropped in order to introduce another. This would be fine if they were returned to in a way that satisfied, but even though the novel felt overlong it didn’t manage to explore its characters to the depth needed. And my major complaint is that there just isn’t enough cow. The cow is the star, with cow-focused chapters being the unquestionable highlight, but these occurred much too infrequently.

I suspect my gripes are the result of this not quite matching up to my personal taste. I’m sure those more at home with amusing and magical and urban and fantasy material will get a lot more out of this. So even though I’m split on my final feeling about the novel, I do think there is enough to enjoy here to recommend to those who would appreciate it more. It has left enough of an impression on me to spur further exploration of the author’s other works related to the world of this book. A mixed 3.5 stars.

4,0 su 5 stelle A unique, witty, well-written story
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 19 marzo 2017

An enjoyable read. I found it to be witty, unique, and well written. Mr. Benny's style is very reminiscent of Terry Pratchett, with a dash of Douglas Adams which becomes apparent with his choice of character names, delicious puns for restaurant titles, and the inclusion of an off-stage character in the personification of History.

While time travel and magic are mainstays of popular fiction, I have yet to run across one that has a cow among the central characters. In fact, as I began the story, my mind was more than willing to accept the first two fantasy elements, but had to come to grips (enjoyably) with the third. In a city as crowded as London is, celebrity businessman, Daniel Wesley travels to many major functions with his favorite cow Lily. And that's a significant element that helps to set the story apart from others.

I found the plot to be relatively complex with interesting twists, yet tending to avoid obvious resolutions. And, while the book was on the longish side, the story was maintained by a set of strong characters. Mr. Benny has also provided enough hooks for both sequels and side stories.

I also plan to read his follow-up novella "Encore Moo".
