A shameless page turner that I was completley gobsmacked with when I closed it over. Don't you just need that in a book sometimes though?

Other than that though there surely can't be that much good to say about it?! Chris moyles is great on radio 1, a true talent. For the publics sake the publishers should just leave him alone.
