4.0 out of 5 stars !WILD! blue yonder
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2008
Yet to finish this book but it's had me and my colleagues in fits at times. Difficult to read if you don't 'ablo Espagnol' as there is too much of it in the book for a English only speaking Brit like me. Nonetheless if you glide or you're a Dead Head you'll love it.
