Unsure why I picked this up as it's not something I would ever normally read. Struggled through the first 50 pages with the plot however once I got into it I couldn't put it down. I know it's a satire but would make a good play/film.

A ripper! You’ll get through it in a day

"It just seems to me that half of America lives in hell and the other half gets its rocks off watching."
A quote from the book and a summary of it in one.

What a strange book! I picked it up at a book fair, curious to know what Ben Elton is like as an author.
To be fair, there is wry humour to this tale, and it is a damning indictment of Hollywood and Americans in general.
I finished it to see what happened so it kept my attention, but I am annoyed at myself for reading it.
