"It's no a f*****g kid's book! Action, drama and proper humour. OK wrap it in brown paper like you do your Harry Potter boooks. It's hotter than Potter!"
"Don't get sucked in to buying the rest. It's all a variation on a theme. This could stop you travekling to work altogether. Not for the soft of mind. Be strong, this is not the path you need."
"First person narrative spy novel. Fast, funny and very modern. Laurie really hits the spot. Sadly he has never put pen to paper since. Too busy I guess. Great train book."
"Best of the lot. So many of these books are such disapoointments. Des barrs seems to have actually been there and done him. These can always be better."
"What happens when good people try to be too good. It's OK you're doing fine. Don't involve yourself, renew your Greenpeace membership and give some cash to a charity that knows what to do with it."
"For those that don't do the Sci-fi thing a bit of DA without the spaceships and bad BBC series. The second book "Long Dark Teatime of the Soul" is just as good."
