The last time I read this was ...oh probably about 10 years ago so I was a little bit worried that I might have 'outgrown' it, but it's just as good now as it was then. Absolutely hilarious [although if we're being completely honest there are parts of it that have not aged all that well] and I really appreciate that things just kick off right away and never slow down rather than spending a whole volume needlessly setting everything up [like a certain tv show adaptation, cough cough].
