The cockney slang is so thick that you need a dictionary beside you while you're reading it. There's a glossary up front, but it doesn't cover half of the words and phrases you need to know. After a while I got used to some of the slang that is used more frequently, but most of the time I was still lost. I gave up on page 105 of 189 -- over halfway through, but I couldn't figure out what was going on half the time, so I guess I was really only a quarter of the way through.
