My dad gave me this book. I think he must have just decided I would like it from the description on the cover. And that was innocent. The first couple of chapters were good and I was certainly into the book. Somewhere in the middle I encountered, well, what shouldn't have been in a book given to me by my father. I couldn't finish it, and I was upset because I wanted to know how it would end. But there was no way I was going to risk encountering any more dog poo in the brownie.

This is a re-read. I loved this when I was in my mid-teens. Now I find it slightly trite but still interesting.
