All Right of Its Kind
This book is a tongue-in-cheek guide to avoiding effort of all kinds, aimed at male British teenagers. While it is a reasonable effort for its genre, it is nowhere near the author's best work. Of couse, the author's best work is truely awesome. The book is interesting in its insights on the British version of slacking (approximately the American translation of skiving). My recommendation to a friend would have been "maybe" if there was a checkbox for it. This book is a must-have only if you are obsessively determined to own all of Diana Wynne Jones' work.
