This book is amazing! It's funny, detailed and somehow manages to keep you on a cliff hanger throughout the book. It was only after I read that chips cost 32p that I realised this book is quite old. I'm guessing it was written in 1981 or before that date so it's quite hard to get the feel of the book when everything is so cheap! That's my only complaint (it's not a very good one though!) so other than that, this book was great.
