Marina Lewycka's previous two novels, 'A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian' and 'Two Caravans' were enjoyable and very funny. 'We Are All Made Of Glue' sparkles with the same quirky, intelligent humour. An ensemble of wonderfully offbeat characters and their possessions remain long after you have finished reading. Georgie's bat woman coat and both her red and black panties. Mrs Shapiro's Lion King Slippers and menagerie of moggies. Mark Diabello and his velcro handcuffs (Velcro!). Ms Bad Eel ("Not Jewish. Too fet!"). Mr Ali and the Uselessess. The dialogue is superb and is at times touching as well as laugh-out funny. Combined with the oddly fascinating theme of glue and adhesives this is a brilliant read.
