Not everyone's cup of tea! I started reading this because I enjoyed his other books. I most certainly didn't enjoy this one. Read a bit, thought I'd leave it, read a bit more. I find that I have to complete a book even if I don't like it to start off with. It did get better, or rather it suddenly became a book that I had to keep reading. This wasn't until the very end.
I won't read any more of his. I've learnt my lesson now. At the moment I have 2 other books on the go - one a 'fluffy' one which I should really drop and the other is a book that I really want to get my teeth into. I shall quickly read the former so I can concentrate on the latter.

I used to love Ben Elton when he did stand up, it was exactly my sort of humour, but I've never read any of his books.
ReplyDeleteI never actually like Ben Elton.I see his name and hear his voice "little bit of politics,little bit of politics".

I have never noticed any books by Ben Elton at the library or even in book shops. Maybe he's not a big seller down here. At least on your recommendation I'll give this a miss if I do happen to see it.

I used to like Ben Elton too but no longer. I don't continue reading books any more that don't immediately "grab" me within the first few chapters - I think of my time as precious and it would be more beneficial reading a great book instead of a mediocre one! :-)
