The housewife's answer to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Susan Strong is a suburban housewife who is literally disintegrating. When Fairly Dave, a kilt-sporting spaceman arrives through the shower head to warn her, she knows things are serious. When she and her precocious four year old twins, Pluto and Rufus, get sucked through Chilled Foods into another universe it gets even messier. Where household appliances are more alive and dangerous than they seem, Geezers have Entropy Hoovers and the Spinner's Cataclysmic convertor could rip reality apart, Susan Strong is all that's holding the world together.
Through this madcap, feel-good adventure, Susan and Fairly Dave travel alternate universes to find Susan's many selves, dodge the Geezers and defeat the evil memory bankers. From dystopian landscapes and chicken dinners, to the surreal world of Las Vegas and bubble universes, can Susan Strong reintegrate her bits and will it be enough to save us all?

Housewife with a Half-Life is a very funny book. If you take nothing else from it, you'll definitely be provided an entertaining read. However, I find it an unusual take on an explanation for a common plague of marriages: The drifting apart. Who wants to read about another marriage slowly slipping away? You do, in this book.It isn't overt..the actual book doesn't spend a lot of time on it, to be honest. It's a very natural progression with a truly unique reasoning, however the book is spent on the housewife literally trying to find herself. This will have a permanent home on my device so that I may read it whenever and wherever the whim takes me. I have a feeling it'll be frequently.

Housewife with a HalfLife eBook Alison Wells Reviews
An attempt at a new Alice in Wonderland meets The Wizard of Oz falls far short of entertaining. The author keeps revolving the same plot over and over again. Save yourself and have a spot of brandy.
This is a light, entertaining Science Fiction read that also happens to be quite witty. Hope to see more from this author in the future.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the two main characters and despite the sci fi setting found them very believable and engaging. The story line was great and loved the idea of travelling through time to find the bits of yourself you lost over the years! Very funny too. Would recommend it highly .
I can't comment on the novel as a whole, as I didn't get too far into it before the unconventional punctuation became too distracting for me (hence the 3-star rating). I'm leaving this comment because I liked the concept of the novel well enough to start it -- and I'd be happy to try again if the book were better edited.
Meet Susan Strong, a bored-rigid stay-at-home mum, half- married to absentee husband Nigel, whose life is slowly disappearing beneath piles of unironed laundry, and soul-grinding daily rituals of washing, cleaning, school runs and relentless trips to the local supermarket. But Susan has a bigger problem. She is quite literally disappearing, and her slow fade from the fabric of existence has potentially catastrophic implications for the rest of humanity, the universe and everything in it.
But then one morning, a leather-clad, kilt-wearing, time traveller hunk called Dave plops out of her shower (don't ask) to declare himself her Fairly God Father. Fairly Dave, it would seem, has come from the furthest reaches of space to help her pull the threads of her life back together and save the universe from total destruction.
And so begins a fantastic interstellar road trip, that takes Susan and Dave on a series of wild and hilarious adventures, from weird and wonderful galaxies far far away to the memories, dreams and recollections of Susan's world-weary and fragile mind.
A.B. Wells has carefully crafted a superb and inventive novel that is a joy to read from beginning to end. The book fizzes with energy and original ideas, soaring through time and space at breakneck speed. For those hoping for a classic sci fi romp you won't be disappointed. Housewife with a Half Life is a masterful epic that playfully signposts the great and the good of the genre including Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dr Who, Bladerunner and Star Trek.
But Housewife is so much more than the parts of its sum. It is also a witty and acerbic satire on 21st Century womanhood. Think Bridget Jones on acid, or Dorothy- off to see the Wizard -about a divorce. And alongside a wealth of gloriously funny observations and comments on modern life, it delves into deeper philosophical thoughts and ideas about the ephemeral fragility and meaning of our existence. It is a testament to the writing talents of A.B. Wells that she has managed to seamlessly weave together and combine all of these various themes to create an unforgettable world that will make you laugh, cry, whoop with joy and encourage you to re-evaluate the pathways of your own existence.
Housewife with a Half Life is a poignant, poetic and beautifully written novel that explores the pain, regrets and sorrows of losing oneself to the needs and demands of others, and the slow drift away from a life once lived and loved. But it is also infused with a great love of language and a fearless lust for what really matters in life; our family, our friends, love for each other and above all, an uncompromised sense of self. And with all these things in place, we can aspire to be like super Susan - a complete and valued human being.
Thoroughly recommended!
Absolute trash. I am an AVID sci-fi/fantasy reader, and have a great appreciation for British humor. That being said, this was the most confusing, convoluted, pointless piece of writing I have ever read. Plot is non existent, characters make no sense whatsoever, and there is absolutely no discernible theme to this book.
Fortunately it was free, and all I lost was a couple of hours of reading time.
