I liked this more than The Broken Bridge, both because this one is set in Oxford, and because the storyline was a little bit more interesting. Another quick and easy read, and probably well suited to its target readership.

This wasn't nearly as good as the His Dark Materials series, but it brought up some interesting moral arguments.
