Great Jo, really chuffed you are enjoying it :)

I have sent P&O a polite email but your FB page sounds a much better idea :D . You best first wait and see if the book keeps you interested to the end, I'd hate for you to have to go back on there to withdraw your comments :lol:

Nah ... if a book captures me in the first few pages I know it will keep my interest to the end, I'm actually tempted to read the last chapter ( but I wont )

Unfortunately today has been 'one of those days' so I haven't even picked it up but tomorrow is set aside to finish it.

Oh dear, I hope Houston didn't have too much of a problem with your late night reading Alan ;)

Really glad you liked it.

I think it's just a normal book shop though because his description says "this title is print on demand" and I guess a second hand one would already be printed. It's also £2 more than amazon so he's clearly put a mark up on :-)

you should contact the seller and complain - that £2 should be in your pocket, not his!

it's here and considerably thicker than I expected.

SD has confiscated it so I don't read it before we go away.

She's also speculating how many other people I'll see reading it next week
