    I couldn't find it at any of my libraries. I should check again.
    I try to look for it at every book store I go to, but I always forget the name. :o

    Erm, ..I started yesterday :o It's great so far though, I got to about page 55 I think which is a record for me in one night, so it must've kept my interest well.
    Also, I don't know if this is a plus, or wether I may be going nuts, but since I read Dunk saying he was reading it in a deep south accent.....well, I seem to be doing just that too :o:D
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    I figured I'd join the fun, hopefully not too late. Just ordered the book today, seems hard to find here in the U.S.

    55 pages in one night is great going amigo.. you'll have it finished in 2 weeks i guarantee you..
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    The entire state of CT doesn't appear to have a copy.
    Nor could I find it at Barnes and Noble.
    Turns out you UK folks have the only copies. :p
    Unless I want to pay almost full price for a used copy from Amazon, which I did.
