What can you say about a work of such incredible depth? A true classic which will make you laugh, frighten you, make you cry and all shades in between. It also has bits which are very very funny. A brilliant epic novel which will, I hope stay with us for many generations to come. What a shame that the land at Sandleford in Newbury has been given the go ahead for building, just like in the story. Once these greenfield sites are gone they will be gone forever and eventually there will be nowhere left for Hazel, Fiver and their friends to run to. We will become an urban wasteland in this country and Fivers vision could indeed become true.
