OK. I'll admit it. I had misjudged Mr. Elton. This is a great book and I enjoyed reading it a lot. It's a satirical look at the modern "blame culture", the unreal lives of many celebrities and the very mixed up values pervading modern US society. It's quite complex, with multiple timelines and viewpoints initially, but that builds the tension nicely. Elton's background comes through, as some of the use of English is very slick, ending up with phrases that read like one-liners. I'd recommend the book and I will be looking out for his other work.
