A very entertaining and enjoyable read. Fast-paced, keeps those pages turning like a well-oiled bank-note counter, a fantastic cast of characters, an extremely chaotic plot  and an exhilarating countdown towards the end, that kept me on the edge of my seat. Funny, witty banter and sarcasm permeated throughout the dialogue.

There are multiple threads to follow all skillfully woven together and all culminating in a confluence in a chaotic conclusion. I think the writing has weathered well considering it's been twenty-four years since its publication.  

Overall, I couldn’t put it down, it was a blast!
