"I want the fortunate readers to know that contemporary sounds are not restricted to lighthearted pop. There's as much heaviness available as well. The celebration of punk might be bad in the grand scheme of things but what I'm saying is, you wouldn't catch me digging into my parents’ record collection. You wouldn't want to dare go there. 

The fact that I treasure my friendship, for instance, with Depeche Mode really catches people off guard. But under thorough analysis, Depeche Mode was super-heavy, particularly live. That bottom end, that can only be found through synthesisers. It's earth-shaking. At one point back in the States Depeche Mode was wrongfully tagged and people said, ""Oh, you like that disco-sounding stuff?"" Well it wasn't. It was heavy."

This started good.

I loved Jett at the beginning; he was hot and arrogant but in a way I liked. For the first 40% it was going great for me and then I kinda got bored. It was flirting and almost having sex, without having sex while having a little work related stuff thrown in.

I was surprised at the end, I wasn't expecting that but I knew there was something wrong with Jett and the property he was after when he was being all b*tchy with Brooke about the details.

In truth I think I've read a few too many NA/Contemporary romances at once and im getting fed up of them. And unfortunately for this book, it's getting the brunt of my feelings.

In the 'Author's Note' at the start of the edition I read (published in 1992), it is explained that this novel is really a joint effort between Terry Pratchett, aged 17, and Terry Pratchett, aged 43.

It's interesting to try to spot which aspects of the books belong to which period of life: which of them from the original (published in 1971, and written by a 17 year old) and which are from the more contemporary period. While understandably not as polished as Pratchett's later works - he himself says it's not the book he would write now - it's still impressive that the basis for this work was written by a (then) 17 year old.

You never know what goes on under your feet ...
