more This book was a multicultural, social commentary whirlwind. The writing is so strong and confident that it swept me up from page one. It is a bit long and does jump around a bit and has a huge agenda, but it all comes together beautifully in the end. Funny, creative, thought-provoking, clever, and downright exciting at the end, I flew through this book with pleasure. It rips apart the multicultural aura of latter half 20th century Britain, and goes after animal rights and cellular engineering as well. Well drawn characters, a bold and in-your-face writing style, and an intricate plot propel this tale for its 550+ pages. Highly recommended for the right bidder.
