This book was my introduction to Leavitt, I am sorry to say. I enjoyed the book so much I read it in two sittings. I could not put it down because the characters are so honestly created. I found myself laughing within and often out loud. I love the way he unfolds a tale and use very human people for his heroes and villains. His portrayal of the way the UK famously denies the obvious in favor of a stack of worn out platitudes called the 'English way' is chilling in its accuracy. Now that I am a fan I hope he has more tales to tell.
