[Miss G Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great insight, well written and balanced content

I enjoyed this book very much. Would like to read the next chapter in the story as this book was published in 2005 and updated in 2006. Interested to see if the same authors have written the next leg of the story and if they haven't they should!!
