I enjoyed this, although I had to take little rests from it as Ed's relentless personality was something I could only take in short doses. (I would definitely employ him as a builder though). The humour was subtle and dry and I'm sure I missed quite a lot of it. I thought the ending was excellent. Although food is clearly an important theme in the novel, I was constantly astounded at the sheer amount of it (mainly fried breakfasts) that Ed managed to consume. ( )
