Leave Before You Go

Meh, it was ok, just as the two stars suggest. Maybe that's a bit harsh, I guess it was entertaining - 2.5 stars. Set largely in Auckland, with a brief roadtrip south, the story revolves around Daniel, a directionless loser from London who agrees to smuggle heroin from Thailand to New Zealand in return for a ridiculous NZ$10K (um, back in the 90s that is only about $3K Sterling - how desperate?). Successful in this, despite passing it off to the wrong person, he loses all of his money on the first night. So I am struggling to like this guy at all...

Anyways, the other characters in the story are those he comes in contact with - amusing New Zealanderish characters - who were actually quite funny in their New Zealanderish ways.

Sort of annoying how the story almost fades out rather than ending though...
