The doors feels red hot, as though a fire is burning behind it. I press an ear to the wood - but there's no crackle. No smoke. Just deep, heavy breathing... and a curious dripping sound. My hand's on the door knob. Inside the room, somebody giggles - low, throaty, sadistic. There's a ripping sound, followed by snaps and crunches. My hand turns. The door opens. Hell is revealed.
When Grubbs Grady first encounters Lord Loss and his evil minions, he learns three things:
"Every school has a smoking area. That's life. Teachers don't approve, but they turn a blind eye most of the time. Certain kids smoke - fact.
(...)
Of course smoking's dumb. Of course it gives you cancer. Of course I shouldn't be doing it. But my friends smoke. It's cool. You get to hang out with cool people at lunch and talk about cool things. But only if you smoke. You can't be in if you're out."

Tal como disse anteriormente, este é o primeiro livro que leio desde que cheguei a Inglaterra. Estava a sentir falta de uma boa leitura e então decidi perguntar ao meu colega de casa se conhecia algum livro interessante. Ele recomendou-me vários. Um deles foi este de que vos vou falar no post.
O que é que eu posso dizer sobre este livro? É o típico humor inglês!
