It was good, it was a bit like that film with Hugh Grant- Extreme Measures, my bookshops luckily orders any book that is in printing. It is in the Netherlands though.
I had to wait for a month before the shop had it.

When I was little I couldn't stand this book about giants. I was always terrified and in nursery I would always have to go out of the room if they read it. It was sooo scary! I can't remember what it was called but at the end you opened a little flap and there was a huge eye there.
