...This book even managed to transform our daily journeys on London's public transport into a pleasurable experience.

This is a one in a million book.

Picked up at the end of a car boot sale from someone desperately giving away books that hadn't sold as she didn't want to take them home again. Unread by me.

This book will be starting its travels as part of Dodaus first bookbox.

Taken from Dodau's bookbox. I am planning to read it and if the story is a good one, pass on to a volunteers organisation in Zimbabwe, who has set up a library in a rural area of the country for the people to use. Unless, of course, someone asks me for the book before!

RELEASE NOTES:

At the Nottingham meetup, downstairs as usual.

Picked up at the Nottingham meet at Costa. Looks a good read.

Description:
'A bittersweet story about the perils and pleasures of pounds and pennies. It will make you laugh and cry. Two bothers, Damian and Anthony, are unwittingly caught up in a train robbery during Britain's countdown to join the Euro. Suddenly finding themselves with a vast amount of cash, the boys have just one glorious, appalling dilemma - how to spend it in the few days before it becomes worthless. Torn between the vices of buying a million pizzas and the virtues of ending world poverty, the boys soon discover that being rich is a mug's game. For not only is the clock ticking - the bungling bank robbers are closing in. Pizzas or World Peace, what would you choose?'

Happy Reading!

I thought this book looked good, started reading it this morning and just didn't stop until I finished it - and all before going to dinner at my mum's! I loved it, a really great read with wonderful characters (who can forget Damian's Saints?) and a fabulously quirky story. It appears it has been made into a film of the same name (with James Nesbitt playing the dad) which I'm sure will be a great film, I will certainly look out for it.

Passed on to me by the unstoppable Jazz-ee2!Thanks matey xxx
