Title: Banal, dull, uneventful and unfulfilling
Product review: Six twenty something supposed 'bright' young things attend an interview whereupon they are drugged and wake up to find they've been kidnapped and marooned on an island. We know a bit about them as the book starts by giving us potted biographies which turn out to be the last interesting thing: we are meant to believe that they all got 'firsts' at university, an enormous effort in itself considering how ineffectually they respond to their predicament. The following 300 or so pages are devoted to chronicling, among other things, their sexual fantasies, the relative merits of Blur and some other Brit pop band whose name now escapes me, and day-time TV soap opera obsessions; and that's it basically. Don't waste your time or money; there are so many better books out there; two by Thomas herself; Popco and The End of Mr Y. This effort is simply embarrassingly trite fluff - obviously far too much 'postmodern' navel gazing going on.
