Review:
After reading this book, I was confused as to why it isn't as well known as it should be!
The tongue in cheek style of writing highlights the satirical nature of British humour well and the balance between romance, crime and supernatural beings is perfect. You can certainly tell Aaronovitch used to work in a book shop, as the combination and balance of themes is perfect for young adults!
