[...] The first section of Alec: Three Piece Suit, Graffiti Kitchen, follows after Alec: The King Canute Crowd.

The “and then this happened” storytelling (perfect description for it, btw) begs for me to rush through it, so I’ve only been reading a few pages at a time so I don’t skip over anything.

This is the first of the Alec books I’ve ever read and I’m loving every moment of it thus far.
