A bit more touchy-feely than his previous offerings, Ben Elton uses his own experience of both infertility treatment, and working in the media, to bring tremendous humour to both situations. The account of the character Sam transporting a sperm sample across town 'in a warm crevice' is surely a classic of all time. I was thinking, whilst reading this book, there were a limited number of possible scenarios with which to end the story. I would have felt a bit let down by a movie-style happy-ever-after situation and it worried me. I have to say though, without wanting to spoil it for anyone, I thought the ending was well and truly spot on.
