I enjoyed this book but with reservations. Some incidents in the novel I found completely unbelievable, people will argue 'it is a novel' which I can agree with but even so giving Jimmy a cheque for £10,000 in 1941, almost half a million pounds in 2011 money, was rather unbelievable. This was just for helping with the Peter Pan play! I can give other instances which would reveal too much of the plot so I will desist. So enjoy the book without considering things too closely.
