*laughs up a kidney* That's made my day. For some reason though I thought of The Young Ones. I hope the members look like them.

Well done for getting through such a ridiculous story where nothing actually happens, and if it does, it's ridiculously anticlimactic.

I know! I was reading this book and kept thinking, "shouldn't the plot have made some kind of progress by now?" At least it was fun to make fun of!

I'm going to picture 'Bones' as Vivian then.

IKR. Liz is a bore. I'll take sociopath Jess anytime.

Thank you anonymous June 3 2008, 14:14:23 UTC

It's sad but I've actually been waiting and waiting for someone to finally recap more of the Elizabeth series, and this book in particular. More please.
