Well, maybe Australia should just join in on the Euro (as Britain should as well)I resent the fact that you think our wonderful currency is worthless.
(We need countries with a 'stable' economy or the currency will be dead in 10 years.)

I didn't think it was very good prose. I think the plot was very neat, very astutely set up (if there were one or two minor holes) but it all felt a little too much like he'd had a good idea and he wasn't sure how to execute it. I liked the characters, though, and the various fatalistic coincidences that brought them together, and it made for an interesting web to watch.
The "Dad" at the end was a little cheesy though.

I joined this forum shortly after turning 17, and for several years was liable to be
any combination of angry, self-righteous, naive, uninformed, curt and belligerent.
Luckily this teenage attitude is only occasionally evident in my posts - but where
it is, I apologise, and ask you to read them with the understanding that I am no
longer quite so consumed by any of those characteristics.

It's the same book. The title was changed.

I thought this book was pretty good. Did not like the fact that he renamed it as I nearly bought the book twice!
It had a good twist at the end and although not really the kind of genre I read thought it was a rather good tale.

Re: the white mercedes
Can anyone one give me an ISBN number or year or publisher for an uncut version of the White Mercedes?
