Easy to read 
Why would you want to read it? You will never forget this book. You might not be able to lend it out! Nice story and I got it cheap. found out a bit about play therapy. To much waffle, written by an writter not a parent and I found it boring at times Very likeable yet complex characters None I can think of! A good story with many funny moments The end came about a bit abruptly, couple of editing errors Can be read as a one off thriller or as part of the Charlie Parker franchise Some of the elements maybe lost on those not familiar with Charlie Parker novelsHigh Society - Ben Elton
