Read: Wednesday 7th July, on the train from King's Cross to York and then York to Scarborough.
Review: The first in what I think is a series of about ten(!) books about the Bagthorpe Family. Jack, alone in not being a genius of some description, feels some desire to raise his credibility in the eyes of his siblings. Aided by his Uncle Parker, he embarks on a confusing campaign to develop some Strings to his Bow. A mildly amusing, lighthearted tale of some slightly strange goings-on in a slightly strange family.
Time: About 2 hours 20 minutes. I took a break to change trains at York. To be honest, by the end of this one, I was beginning to feel a little bit sick of reading. In fact I have been unable, in the two hours since finishing, to eagerly snatch up the next book in the Challenge pile. I will, I am sure, be recovered by tomorrow, but I'm feeling the need to do something else for a short time...
