That's more like it. The most unreliable of narrators tells his own story in a charming way that puts a fresh spin on the Norse myths. Burgess' first adult novel apparently, and I was going to give it to Liana for Christmas, but it is very racy so I may have to think again. Fred had his 15th birthday yesterday, and it is difficult to know what to get him as nothing really enthuses him at the moment (teenage boy), so we have all given him money to put towards a new phone. he is a good lad, much more so than I was at his age. As with all three of them though, I just wish they would read for pleasure - so strange that none of them do. none really interested in football or music either, which just seems so alien to me. I would say it's a generational thing, but so many of their friends are different. Just my poor parenting then. . .
