CLAMPdown review
It's worth noting (but hardly a fault) that this was written primarily for a British audience, and contains plenty of references to British places and cultural elements. By this point we're all used to references we don't necessarily get, and Wolf includes tongue-in-cheek "translation notes" in the back of the volume for them, which is a fun way to handle it. But it does mean that readers risk being brought up short by some of Wolf's language.
