Do you ever finish a book, close it, shake your head, and say "wow, that was &#% great"...?
I just did. Sebastian Faulks' "A Week in December" - I laughed out loud, my eyes welled up, and when it finally dawned on me part way through the book what he was getting at, I found myself saying every so often "this is &#% great".
It's not perfect, possesses a few loose ends and not enough depth to be considered a literary great. But, if you want a good satire and perhaps some insightful a-ha moments, and are not too worried about the use of somewhat stereotypical characters for the purpose of rolling out the commentary on "reality", enjoy.
