Ruth's Diary - No.23 (4.4)

[JHyde]

There are some major continuity errors between all the spin off publications and the show itself. We've usually tried to make the best of it and get as close as we can to agreement.

My fave mistake re: Harry's birthday is that it is supposedly on the last day of 2.8's mission but is totally in the wrong month. It is from Harry's Diary that I lifted his telling of finding the bottles. Pretty pricey present even if it wasn't terribly personal!

It's worth getting, A Cousin. I'm fairly confident that Neil Cross did the ghostwriting and there's some really good bits in there that add a lot to the overall picture of Harry that we have, though there are bits I'm not crazy about. If you do decide to buy it, please buy it from the Spooks forum shop as a tiny percentage of the payment goes towards forum costs.

Also, if you do get it, we have a thread especially dedicated to discussing it. We'd love someone new to join in, it's been a while.

Thanks for the review!
