I just finished this too! I described it to my partner as Kazuo Ishiguro meets Pratchett. Loved it.

This is so awesome Simon, just sharing as you kindly sent my class a book a few years ago via twitter!

This book looks so good, I'm just rereading The Art and Science of Primary Reading this summer!

I love Radiohead so much! Saw them at South Park Oxford, Earl's Court and the Big Top show just after Kid A came out. I bought so many 2nd hand CDs of The Bends because I wore them out in my car CD player.
