Yes he could. He's telling the story in the present tense, not the past tense. So reading it we don't know if he's still in the room, if they escape, if he dies... Etc.

I enjoyed it anyway, it was a bit different.

I'm at a literary loose end. I don't know what to read. I just finished Janet Evanovich's "Three to Get Deadly" which was enjoyable and I have a few weighty tomes lined up which I can't be bothered with at the moment I think it's time for a Robert Goddard or Kathy Reichs, with their books for some reason I'm quite a lazy reader and I don't try to work out what is going to happen I just let them unfold!

Am now half way through the Buddha of Suburbia... A book I have avoided for A LONG time.... Finding it quite amusing so far... Feel like I KNOW the characters or have known people exactly like em in my life..... And its certainly set in my era.... So lots of connections being made...

Something light and cheery is called for.

Try Grandma Baa by Roger Hargreaves.
I've read it countless times and it always brings a tear of laughter.

Well I haven't managed to find the book yet at a quick look this morning, but the suggestion did make me giggle. Is it like the Mister Men? I'm not averse to reading children's books, especially with having one of them in the house
