Having discovered the Big Brother programme a couple of weeks after it started on t.v. I then endured night after night of sleep deprivation as I found myself hooked on either the t.v. broadcasts or the web site, even though the web site pictures could be extremely boring I found myself thinking 'just another ten minutes, in case I miss anything interesting.' This has got to be a sign of an extremely nosey middle-aged woman with apparently nothing better to do with her time (ha ha).
However,as we all know, redemption was on hand on the day Craig walked away the winner and made Northern Mothers everywhere proud of their sons. Life and my sleep patterns returned to normal and not too many wrinkles seemed to have added themselves to my lived-in face.
But then, a friend decided to treat me by buying me this book. Ok the book is basically just a transcript of what happened in the house and therefore should not hold much interest to avid veiwers but I can not help but find it fascinating. It is like reading a multiple biography as I feel I already know the people featured very well but it also gives another persons perspective on what we all saw and heard as well as some parts that the t.v. did not show.
Numerous learned persons have proved that we are all capable of interpreting the same information in different ways and this is where the true fascination of the book lies. Reading of incidents that you vividly remember but realising that others have put a different interpretation or relevance to them make the book well worth buying and I am back to square one with regard to lack of sleep as I find once I start a Chapter I have great difficulty in putting the book down. Far from repeating the programme I find this book enhances the whole Big Brother experience and I reccomend it unreservedly to true B.B. fans.
