Wow! <br><br>My darling husband has just seen my copy of Mortlock and (though incapable of reading any fiction as "it isn't real") commented "hey cool, the pages are black." Obviously he didn't mean the actual pages or you wouldn't be able to read the black print but it was about as impressed as he has ever been by a fiction book so big thumbs up for Mortlock!<br><br>P.S. I was saving Mortlock for the Bank Holiday but I have no will power and sneakily read up to Chapter 4 today.
