Dear Reader

Welcome to BookCrossing and thanks for being a part of World Book Night 2011, the largest book giveaway in history. 1,000,000 specially printed copies of 25 different books changed hands on March 5th 2011 and began their journey from reader to reader. This book is one of them. World Book Night has joined with BookCrossing to help track these books as they travel. You can be a part of that journey by making a comment in the book's journal here on BookCrossing. Your journal entry can say how you got the book, what you thought of it, your plans for it or whatever else you might like to add.

On BookCrossing you may choose to remain anonymous or join (it's free). If you join, you’ll be alerted by e-mail each time someone makes another journal entry for this specific copy of this book (other copies of the book are travelling with their own ID number. Every copy of every book has a unique ID). It’s all confidential (you’re known only by your screen name and no one is ever given your e-mail address) and spam-free.

Thanks in advance for being part of World Book Night and BookCrossing. And happy reading and sharing.

This book is being released via BookCrossing on 5 March 2011 as part of the inaugural World Book Night. With the full support of the Publishers Association, the Booksellers Association, the Independent Publishers Guild, the Reading Agency with libraries, World Book Day and the BBC, one million books will be given away by an army of passionate readers to members of the public across the UK and Ireland.

Read and release!

Found in the Sale section of the Cancer Research Charity Shop, Grainger St, Newcastle UponTyne. Unfortunately the first giver was not a bookcrosser and had not but the BCID in the book correctly nor released the book through bookcrosssing. I have added the hypen to the BCID and the book is ready for travelling again.

The first giver was James Hogg who gave this away in 2011 at the Tyne & Wear Metro.

I read a copy of this a few years ago and as I recall although a good, well written book I would not have chosen it had it not been one of my personal challenges to read all the books for the World Book Night 2011 list. I was pleased I did and decided to look out for more by this author
