East of Ealing, a part of the "infamous" 5 book Brentford trilogy, will not disappoint the fans of the series. Find out in this book whether the flying swans patrons will once again outlive the fiendish schemes of the archvillain, or even worse, will their drinking be interrupted ("mine will be a pint of large , neville"). If you're a fan, you will love this book, if you are not, you have been wasting your precious few daily hours of sobriety ....

This review is from: East of Ealing (Brentford Trilogy) (Paperback)

I must say after having read the first two novels in this series, and quite enjoying them, this one was a disappointment. The story does not end so much as it stops, with none of the plot lines resolved. I expected much more from an author whose work I have come to enjoy.
