Wow! This sounds so intriguing! I did not read the previous book about this character and while I might not quite agree with his morals in this book, you can't deny that he is an intelligent person that will make for an interesting character. Based on the description, I did not expect to care much for this book but after reading the first impression, I have got to get my hands on this. Between Mungo and the writing style, I know this will be a great book!
