Excellent
10 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
A good solid story on the shallowest level, and a rather sarcastic social commentary on deeper levels. Well worth the time to read.

Readable, but the characters are a bit too well defined.
19 Sep 1998
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed the book (it's a good light read), but a lot of it was beating about the bush. The book did get better towards the end. I wonder if it was the writer's first book? Certainly his "North of South" was better written.
