If you're feeling blue & need cheering up then apart from coming to Tickle Site, you could get yourself a book with a bit of humour included.
One of my favorite authors is Ben Elton. His satirical look on the world at large always manages to make me smile, grin then laugh out loud. Most of his books are in the same kind of style as his stage act so if you found him funny on TV then the books will do just as good a job!
I'll be reviewing all the new books I read so watch this space!!
Dead Famous by Ben Elton
Ben Elton is back with a hilarious Big Brother – style murder mystery.
One house. Ten contestants. Thirty cameras. Forty microphones. Once again a voyeuristic public is looking forward to watching a group of unknowns as they submit themselves to the exposure of the reality television show, House Arrest. Everybody knows the rules: total strangers are forced to live together while the rest of the country follows their exploits.
Who will crack first?
Who will have sex and with whom? Who will the public love and who will they hate?
The programme seems much as usual but then one of the contestants is murdered. How did the perpetrator kill someone under the constant gaze of the cameras? And who will be next . . . ?
Ingenious and very funny, Dead Famous works both as a brain-teasing whodunnit and a razor-sharp satire on the obsession with celebrity. If you only know Ben Elton as a stand-up comedian, this riveting new novel will make you see him in a whole new light.
