Advantages: Makes the reader laugh the whole way through it.

Disadvantages: Can't think of any

Ben Elton is a sensational author and he really does not disappoint at all in this book. This was the first Ben Elton book i'd read but since then have only been able to search for his other ones. The book is basically a murder mystery based on a plot from the Big Brother house but is actually genius because the reader does not find out who even has been killed until 2/3's of the way through and the murderer, of course, even further into it than that. The book keeps you in suspense and laughing the whole way through. The characters are well developed; so much so that you really imagine these contestants on the actual show. It was amazing how much Elton had got these characters SO right and, of course, there are very well thought out red herrings. I seriously reccommend this read for anyone who is faintly interested in Big Brother and anyone who is a fan of Ben Elton. So far, this is my favourite book of his.

Summary: Ben Elton creates this amazing Big Brother atmosphere where a contestant is murdered. Amazing.
