I wasn’t keen on the characters, though I liked the style of writing and the premise sounds good. May attempt it again in the future, but decided to leave it for now.

Ridiculously fun and funny with a surprising dose of heart! This first edition of The Stranger Times throws you through the plot so fast you hardly have time to breathe before it's over and you're itching for another encounter with this cast of misfit weirdos!

I really enjoyed the comical absurdity of the entire book. Some passages made be laugh out loud and the characters were just so sweet. I flew through the story and I’m excited to read the next book.

This book will be particularly well suited to those who understand and appreciate the complexities of the British biscuit hierarchy.
