So after one day I’m well behind (and I just spent another hour fiddling with the spreadsheet – gotta stop doing that!!). But remember it’s supposed to be fun and we’ve got the weekend!
I’m remembering why I like this book.
I picked it because, to be honest, I wanted a boy’s book for a change, and I remembered that I liked it. Given that it’s 10 years since I read it I couldn’t remember why. Now I do – Lang. He’s a great hero. Funny. He’s just started to fall for Sarah Woolf, which even without remembering the plot you can tell is a bad idea. The plot revolves around internation arms dealers and terrorism. It’s pre-9/11 and it shows but that’s ok.
