I read it when I just left school after my teacher, Mr Cole - the best teacher I ever had, to be honest -, named it as his favourite book ever. Mr Cole was from Tipton, and if someone from Tipton likes a book it has to be really special. Reading it as a 16 year old I loved it, there were moments where I thought, again like Ewar, 'that's what I'd do.' <br />The relationship he has with his teacher at the start also struck a chord with me because I had a really good time being taught by Mr Cole and I, still even now, kind of miss it. Recently when I visited Mr Cole we had a conversation about whether it was the best book ever.
