I have got an official scholarship/grant from City so I will be able to start my Msc this September after all! HORRAY!
This book started amazinly well. The writing was much better than other books by Wheatley and it was very atmospheric and spooky. Unfortunately it didn't quite hold up in the end. There were some rather random ranting about communism leading to satanism, over taxation in the UK, and reincarnation. Still it was quite enjoyable and very claustophobic. The satanists seemed less eloquent than in previous books and the debates weren't quite as entertaining. That said there was a lovely satanic boarding school where the kids were allowed to study what they wanted, taught atheism, and allowed to have sex with whomever they liked. I thought that sounded like a lot of fun! Enjoyable, but a bit too drawn out.
