Normal people, abnormal situations.
What I love about both books is how normal the main characters are; I know people just like them (especially teachers!). This could lead to them being boring, but this really works in the story’s favour; they react as everyone would and have the fears and make the mistakes we all do.
I particularly like the main character written in the first person, and the set pieces being fleshed out by third person explanations from the other characters’ point of view. I wish the last third of the novel had been a little more meaty but that didn’t spoil the story.
A good read, especially when one is laid up with ‘flu and reads it in a day!

Well..
Nothing happened in 1986 precedes this and was a good solid read. I did it in one day whilst ignoring all the things I should have been doing. This didn't fail to live up to expectations. A series Steve?
