RELEASE NOTES:

Releasing to a member of bookmooch. 2nd Class 3rd January 2007

Received via Bookmooch thank you very much. This was a book I had really thought I wanted to read, but I was disappointed. It had a good idea for a story, but at times the telling of this story felt forced and did not run true. I am going to pass onto my mother, who will read and return to me, when I will release in the wild.

RELEASE NOTES:

Caught at the Chelmsford Meet on Tuesday! To be released at a meet or to an OBCZ soon!

Picked up from Cafe Nero as looked like a quite interesting book. Have started reading it but am of much the same opinion as booktwitcher, seems like an interesting subject but not the best written book I've ever read.
