Books like Mercycle

Mercycle, the very name implies cheesy stupidity; this, combined with this combined with a front cover of an underwater world featuring a guy on a bike and a mermaid just screams that this is not a book meant to be taking too seriously. That was what I wanted to read at the moment though, a light-hearted book that I could enjoy without really thinking to much about; and it did not disappoint. The situation is cheesy: an archaeologist, a geologist, a physicist, a biking tour guide, and a hairless book lover, where secretly one is a government agent and the other is from another world, traversing the bottom of the ocean floor on Bicycles for an unknown mission. Something that no one can take seriously combined with the fact that it's in a world just like ours, except no ones seems unduly surprised when they come upon secret hi-technology. This being said, as long as you don't think to deeply about that stuff, it is a well written book, with good, developed characters and an actual, fairly solid plot line given all the random items thrown in. The fact that he was able to create such a good book with so many unconnected, random items thrown in gives great credit to the skill of the author.
