Review title: A great thriller but not many laughs.
Product review: This is Ben Elton's 4th book and is the first without an environmental message . This instead concentrates on the violence in society as portrayed by movies and asks some important questions about personal responsibility. It works on three levels; as a straight thriller, as a satire and as a moral arguement. It never however provides any answers but just leaves you to think about whether films reflect or lead the mood of society. As a thriller it is excellent with some real heart stopping scenes. I would imagine the play currently running in London would be great as all the action takes place in one room. It did not however make me laugh and for a comedy writer as good as he is that disappointed me. if you have never read an Elton book before then can I recommend Gridlock which deals with car pollution and also disability awareness as well as providing more belly laughs than this.
