Fantastic way to continue the series, I really enjoyed it. A good opening set of chapters to refresh the mind as to what happened in book 1, and a brilliant continuation of the story with so much real world material, it's hard to believe it's all fiction. it did perhaps get a bit much, with everyone having multiple copies and it being a bit of a stretch to work out who was whom and with which other version of that other person's same self and whatnot, but all rollicking good fun really and spot on with Richards' usual tone and style.
