I agree - terrific. Would make a great motion picture for which someone like Richard Curtis could write some soppy old script. I suggest Hugh Grant to play the annoying fold that prevents one from working out which end of Theobald's Road has the lower numbers.

[Slothrop]

It certainly has some marvellous passages but the plotting is weak and the ending is rather tame. I'm surprised there were so many sequels (Cambridge is a particular favourite).
I would recommend the avant-garde version London Q to Biscuit.

[Zenmistress]

I much prefer the audio version myself. Gripping in parts, especially around the Holland Park Roundabout.

[Blodwyn Pigs Might Fly]

Tired, tired, tired. What is this book trying to tell us that we haven't heard before? That Askew Road adjoins Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road? Yes, heard it already, thank you very much.

I can't believe they keep re-printing this rubbish year after year. It's hardly changed in the last two or three decades - the odd additional cul-de-sac here and there, the odd missing H where a hospital used to be. It's not enough. Come on guys, get with it! We're in the 21st century, what century are you in?

[Deinonychus]

The last I heard, there were one or two terrorist groups that had plans for an 'adaptation'.

Ooh - little bit controversial there...
