- as good as it gets
A wonderful book by my favourite novelist. It has everything you could ask for. The only downside is the feeling of sadness that hits you when you reach the last page.

Rating: - Brilliant!
After reading Case Histories and One Good Turn I was looking forward to this and I was not disappointed.
Such intelligent writing with humour and class.
