Anyone who has ever wrestled with death in a blood-freezing predicament, while their friends fall about laughing at the hilarity of the situation, will recognise the brilliant accuracy of these stories. Mike, Chas and Gabrielle preserve their friendship while striving to deal with problems which range from the fortunes of an ill-starred garden gnome to the liberation of a child from an over-protective mother. The language of the book is both accessible and resplendent with irony and comical observation. Excellent entertainment for independent readers of all ages.
