I really appr ciated the rhythm and pace of Dasha Slater's writing. I had been meaning to read The 57 Bus for ages, but it so happens that this was my first introduction (other than the Escargot books for littles, which are perennial favorites). This book made me angry for reasons I can't quite explain here, and not completely for the reasons I would have expected. But the author's presentation was robust and balanced and I while I didn't "enjoy" it, per SE, I HIGHLY recommend it.
