I bought this book excited by the premise of the newspaper itself. but, after I started this book i was determined not to like it (i hate comedy that relies on it's 'britishness' as a selling point) but as the book went on i got completely hooked in by the plot. Stella was by far my favourite of the Stranger Times bunch.
