... likeable, interesting first person narrator for a novel of this length, and for the most part we have one. We certainly spend a lot of time in his company, as there is a lot of dialogue with Ken and A N Other where (mostly) Ken passes comment on the state of the nation, from Scottish football to why Land Rovers are the ideal vehicles for London.
