Don't think I've read that one, have a few of his books though. Quite like them, easy to read and quite funny normally as well.
Have a couple of new books to read sitting on the shelf, a Terry Pratchett one (Making Money IIRC) and another one called Deadline. Same writer (Simon Kernick) that wrote Relentless. Now that was a pretty good book IMO, read it in a few hours in the one day. Really was a fast paced book. |

I'm a fairly fast reader. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six took me four nights to read (it's a good few inches thick).
Most Terry Pratchetts take one or two nights.
I know when it's been too long since I read a book because my mood does change... get told I get all narky if it's been a while since I read a good book  |

D is like that with books... ignores everything else and just reads. I have to fit in reading when i'm not going to be disturbed as I get irritated if I'm interrupted and can't just choose to ignore people if they are trying to talk to me. _________________ Neeps Flickr Group - check out some of the fab photos from other Neepsters and share some of your own. |
