Luke's Reviews > The Portable Door

A funny fantasy story which rarely veers away from being very very silly, in the vein of Terry Pratchett. Paul Carpenter is the unlikely hero of the book, a nerdy young man who gets his first job in a seemingly boring office which is hiding a whole fantastical world behind it, including goblins, otherworldly objects such as love philtres, which make you fall irrevocably in love with the first person you see after drinking it, and a portable door which can transport you to other times and places, but which rather strangely doesn't feature all that much in the story, despite being the titular feature. Maybe doesn't quite hit the heights of Pratchett, but a funny and entertaining story.
