Disappointing sequel
It gets off to a great start but sadly is no where near as good as the first film. The action scenes in London at the start are great. It feels like half way through the film they run out of budget and ideas. Could have been so much better.

Can everyone stop getting shot?
A British comedy/action film about east London gangsters getting in trouble over two stolen guns. Very funny at times.

"There’s a great mysticism in his work. I’ve read everything he’s ever written. That disquieting underbelly that he sees in London, that’s how I perceive it too"

An enjoyable book. Dodger travels through Victorian London, crossing and joining history like an early Forest Gump. Still has the wit and humour that Sir Terry fans will enjoy.
  
I really enjoy this series of books. Not too heavy going and the right size to slip into a handbag to read on the train when going up to London!

"Another life changer. I first saw this at the Everyman Cinema in Hampstead, London, when I was sixteen. Jean-Claude Brialy had verve, and an English sports car. I wanted both"

What's not to love? Magic, adventure, action and 4 Londons. Schwab's original story is creative and leaves you begging for the next one.
