This book is, in a word, excellent. I enjoyed this much more than Exciting Times, especially as this seems more ripe for adaptation into a miniseries or film. I found the characters likeable despite humanistic flaws, and while the ending seemed inevitable I enjoyed the path towards. A super fast read as well!

Random note, but at one point there is a typo where Archie's middle name changes from Patel to Gupta. May just be this edition, but thus may also make this edition a special one in future!
