Cute. As someone who generally thinks in digressions, I enjoyed the writing style and the black humorous tone. In the Pratchett and Douglas Adams family of wit (high compliment here). Definitely juvenile fiction though, which is not a bad thing considering that is the intended audience. It would be odd if the author wrote a book for children and it was filled with sex and violence. Odd, and more than likely prosecutable. Hypocritically not odd, however, is an adult reading a book intended for children. It's all about context, which has nothing to do with a text written by a con, even a con sentenced for writing a dirty grade school novel. Like I said, it's all about perspective.

Recommended for wise ass kids who you'd like to be wise ass British kids.
