Yes - I bought it yesterday and read most of it.
Bits i haven't already read i have skimmed througfh so have an idea what it will be about.
To be honest - I am a big fan of shipman, but there is nothing in this book that isn't really in his first oen.
Don't get me wrong - it is a very enjoyable read - ut there aren't any great nuggets of info that aren't in the first.
Teh first one is definitely better in my book.
