2008-01-22 Another book purchased after seeing

the billboard advertisement in the underground. And after my previous financial literary error, I really couldn't believe I had done it again. However, this book was a very different kettle of fish. The story romped along at a cracking pace, the prose was very readable and the plot spicy enough to keep you turning the pages. One of my measures of a good novel is whether I can lose myself sufficiently to cut out the background noise, I was so absorbed I actually missed my stop on the train and had to come back. This isn't highbrow literature, it is a cracking good read whether on the beach or on the train.
