A very enjoyable read. I knew I was going to like it when a group of aristocratic delinquents called the Bollinger Club was introduced in the opening chapters. "Bollinger Club", eh? I thought. Sounds an awful lot like the Bullingdon Club [the group of aristocratic delinquents whose former members include this country's Prime Minister, the Mayor of London, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and other powerful toffs]. I looked it up (well, I looked on Wikipedia) and I was right. Hurrah! Nothing changes.

This will shortly be on its way to crimson-tide in Australia...

Woohoo! Another one sent 'surface mail' from the UK which obviously hitched a ride on a passing migrating bird. ;-) I wish Australia Post would do that with mine...

Received as a choice from the 1001+ Books VBB.
Thanks shnedwards. :-)
