  1. I found the way this novel was organized (by car, numbers etc.)

  (tick one only)

  □ clear and easy to use

  □ a good idea but needed more work

  □ boring as hell

  □ a good joke, but surely postmodernism requires that (attach essay)

  □ huh?

  2. The cover and design were

  □ brilliant, lots of fun

  □ looked OK

  □ nearly put me off eating

  3. The typefaces in particular were (tick two boxes)

  □ nice and big—even I could read it

  □ too small by half and

  □ disgusting and old fashioned

  □ sleek and inviting

  4. How easy was the novel to find?

  □ Tell the HarperCollins reps to get off their butts: I had to look in…(number of) bookshops

  □ I had to order it and even then, they didn’t seem to know about it

  □ Easy—my friend loaned it to me

  □ Easy. I stole it (please fill in name and address below)

  □ It was in a few big city bookshops

  □ Wow! Can you guys rep books, this thing was like herpes…on everybody’s lips

  5. What are your views of the author

  □ tell Geoff not to give up his day job

  7. As I understand it the significance of 253 is (one answer only, please):

  □ as a metaphor for impending death as we live life

  □ as a tribute to the hidden fascinating truth behind each face if we could but find it

  □ as a tribute to the infinite variety of London life

  □ as a deliberate mockery of interactivity, feedback forms etc.

  □ that some of it is mildly amusing

  □ that Geoff had a contract.

  Attach essay if absolutely necessary.
