I hope you'll come back with what you think, Goll, because I was wondering the same thing.

Fans of Peake will delight in this new, wonderful tale, published one hundred years after Peake’s birth, every bit as thrilling and masterfully written as his famed trilogy.
Hmm... A bit of the Blurb Overblown, maybe.


Bought Bill Bryson's At Home, from Tesco. I don't like buying books there, particularly, because they discount so much that I'm sure that it has a deleterious effect on specialised bookshops, but as it was down from £8.99 to £3.99, I really had to take advantage. At least I've still got £5.00 to put toward something from Waterstones or somewhere...
