It was hilarious :) And yes, knowing some of England's affairs indeed would help but it is not vital :)

Thank you for stopping by! :)

Wow! This book seems to be conveying a lot, a whole lot. I placed it in the comic fiction category after reading the first paragraph and then I wasn't sure after seeing that it treated serious real world issues, and then a love story! From your review I can tell what a rollercoaster it would be reading this one. Great review.

I'm not quite into politics, so this one is not for me, but it sounds pretty much interesting for the fans of such a unique literature :) Thank you for a great review!

Thank you! :) I can certainly confirm that it was a hell of a rollercoaster! :) It is one of those books that I wish I haven't read yet so I could read it all again :) For quite some time I was in a state of befuddlement :lol: I loved it! :lol:

Thank you for stopping by! :)

It may be approaching political subjects among many others, but it is done in such a way that it is an absolute pleasure to read :) It could be read out as a stand-up comedy :lol: Or, rather, I will be looking forward for this to turn into a play! I wish I knew some theatre producers :lol:

A book that tries to educate readers on the effects of disposing waste wrongly. Nice piece I would check this out

I always hate having to take away star from a book I enjoyed. It seems like you had to do that too. The title is very hilarious. Nice review!

Thanks for your interesting review which gives lot of insights about the book which tries to create awareness on environment.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

A truly escentric book indeed! I, too, did not have any idea what a fatberg was, but now I know that it is truly disgusting! Thank you so much for your insightful and descriptive review. Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:
