Emma, Ginie and Royanda share their daily thoughts and some rather interesting stories on the local bus in London. Mr Campbell, a teacher is having some trouble with members of the faculty and finds himself in a rather difficult situation with some students. Mr Huefara’s daughter is engaged to a man that he is not quite fond with and having trouble to cope with the culture differences. Somewhere a little boy is facing dark fears and problems with his sadistic mother. Read Ironing by Navajo to learn about more characters that emerge within this book each with their own daily life battles to deal with.

The characters in this book teaches us how to deal with life situations at hand that in most cases are not always pleasant. It is important that while reading a story you should be able to put yourself in that certain position and think of how would you have dealt with that problem, situation or what would your emotions have been. The characters in this book uses a lot of humour and have a very interesting way of expressing themselves which is a good lesson to us as the readers. Humour and laughter can bring more light to any dark situation.

Unfortunately, even though this book did not have many pages it took me some time to finish the book. The reason for that is because the story begins rather roughly and there is no real introduction to any characters in this book. While reading about one story it just ends and starts a different one and then later it continues with the previous story, which is fine when watching a movie but to read like that is quite confusing especially if you feel that the one has got nothing to do with the other. I would have preferred that in a case like this where there are many different stories of different characters not really involved with each other from the beginning should be written in chapters instead.

Due to the negative factors mentioned above I unfortunately have to rate this book 2 out of 4 stars because in my opinion it is very good stories but could have been written in less confusion.

I would recommend this book to the mature and non sensitive readers due to the fact that a lot of naughty language is being used.
