The writing is excellent, I think it is really clever. I found the novel hysterically funny with its cynical quips, particularly from about 70 pages in, as I did find it a little slow in the beginning. Glad I stumbled across it, I am keen to look into more titles from this author. I particularly enjoyed the ‘Boat Six’ chapter.
