Once I'm reading it's great, but if I put it down it really becomes hard for me to pick it up again. It is so funny, in a really devious politicians way. By the way, Smith and Mrs Moskowitz know Moses set all that entrenched power for himself, there is a line in there about that. Really engagingly written.
