These can get a bit dizzying because you keep getting socked with them but it’s certainly entertaining and a never a dull moment experience! I struggled through a few pages but was met with a litany of metaphors such as ‘cut-throat detachment that could throw a duffel bag of kittens into a canal without breaking stride’ along with ‘the intimidating impression of being in the captain’s quarters on a whaling vessel’ and ’the wind took the voice out of both of their sales’, these combined with OTT descriptions of the characters were just too much for me. In certain locations there are no designated bus stops and in those locations the booking office will book journeys from a pick up point that is considered safe and practical.

Although dog is man’s best friend we need guidelines surrounding carriage of animals on our vehicles. The dark humour in this story kept it alive for me and I was intrigued to see how it would pan out as we learnt more about Bob. It did get a little violent at one point which I didn't like very much, too graphic and unpleasant for my sensitive soul, but it's only in one bit and doesn't run all the way through the book, thankfully. You can make a booking up to seven days in advance up to and including the same day of travel with a minimum of one hour’s notice.I think the only downside, for me, was I would've loved to see either a couple more timelines or some more time spent with the timelines. You will need to book your journey with us if you wish to travel unless you're on a route of a service bus.

I liked the writing style, at first it seemed a bit macho (drinking, drugs, partying etc) but once I got into the story it really started to grip me and kept my interest throughout.
