Great book that defines the era and the writing style of FF. Has it stood the test of time though?
Listening to it you'd think David Rintoul has been ravaged by a 40 a day Benson Hedges addiction since the 60's.
The story telling is sometimes conveniently placed. Why would Millar take his car??? mad....
Anyhow, a classic and thoroughly enjoyable with a good plot twist.
