I resent the fact that you don't appear to understand how currency works.

Well, maybe Australia should just join in on the Euro (as Britain should as well)
(We need countries with a 'stable' economy or the currency will be dead in 10 years.)

I didn't think it was very good prose. I think the plot was very neat, very astutely set up (if there were one or two minor holes) but it all felt a little too much like he'd had a good idea and he wasn't sure how to execute it. I liked the characters, though, and the various fatalistic coincidences that brought them together, and it made for an interesting web to watch.

The "Dad" at the end was a little cheesy though.

i thought so too... it even bugged me.

It's the same book. The title was changed.

I thought this book was pretty good. Did not like the fact that he renamed it as I nearly bought the book twice!

It had a good twist at the end and although not really the kind of genre I read thought it was a rather good tale.

Can anyone one give me an ISBN number or year or publisher for an uncut version of the White Mercedes?
