really liked it

This book is just as much of a roller-coaster ride of excitement and anticipation for the reader, as the real life events it describes were for Ben, a working class boy drawn into the bizarre and uninhibited world of super-rich women. It's not often that you forget you're reading a book these days, but the writer has a great ability to place you inside Ben's head, to allow you to see what he sees, and feel what he feels. This is a book that literally gets your pulse racing as you journey through a world at once attractive and dangerous, populated by characters that are both sophisticated and yet child-like.

I have to say that it's not a book I would give to my grandmother - the descriptive writing style that paints Ben's world so well loses none of its detail as he carries out the duties that books title suggests, but if you are looking for something that has the style and grace of James Bond with the PG rating well and truly stripped away, then this book is for you.
