pickFound the style a little hard to get into at first, but after easing in it was an enjoyable read. Some of the things said may not have got past the editors these days, but the use of these isn‘t so toxic, I believe anyhow. The topics still relevant today, a cynical, satirical dystopian ‘near future‘ with an entertaining plot. Conspiracy, espionage, murder, plenty of dark humour and there‘s even a car chase in there.
pickThis novel features Ben Elton's trademark biting satire, this time directed at the internal combustion engine. When a young physicist invents a revolutionary hydrogen engine, a criminal conspiracy kicks into gear, and they will stop at nothing to silence him. A good distraction at the moment; although it was quite dark at times, Gridlock was funny and frankly traffic is currently the least of our worries.
