Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If this is a good example of Simon Raven's writing, I'd like to purchase other books he wrote. I think he did an especially good job with building strong characters (Honeydew, esp.), and I found myself laughing at the witticisms laced throughout the various conversations which take place during the course of the story. The story itself is a little dated, which can't be helped, but it's still well-done.
