Anyway, yeah, it was pretty good, all the more so for making the socio-economic power aspect central - glad to say there was some restorative class justice at the end, freedom for Tooting (or Taiwanese equivalent of) etc. |
I'm really enjoying you reviews Frankie, have you considered starting your own review thread?
