Was not the least impressed by it, but I am a book addict and I can squeeze every drop of pleasure a book has to offer. After the first book, which was a borrowed book I was not motivated enough to buy the second one till we travelled to Oxford last month, and stayed in a little charming B&B with minimal entertainment. We took long walks everyday. On the first day I wanted to cuddle up with a book, nothing too serious maybe a thriller so we went to the main bookshop and what an experience that was! After years of being deprived of good bookshops I was like a dear caught in the head lights. Mark gave me 1/2 without kids which was as much as he could realistically manage without me (Aida was screaming her head off at the moment). I did not know what to do, anybook that I wanted and all the books that I did not know that I wanted were there. Long story short when it came to the closing time I still did not have a book. So I quickly ran down to the first floor where all the Borders type books were and chose the second book of trilogy.
This one is by far the best among the three and it was just the right book for the time, and it was a happy coincidence that I was in oxford because the story starts in Oxford.
He has many many original, well not many butquite a few original and tantalizing ideas.
He is not a master storyteller though.
