I started it this afternoon, it's fabulous, i can't put it down, i also laughed out loud in my local cafe while sitting alone.
Really enjoying it so far.
This is the paragraph that has tickled me the most, but i am stil only on page 40.
"It strikes you out of kilter that there's a notice at London Paddington Station which says 'Please be ready to move away with your luggage when you reach the top of the escalator' because it implies that otherwise you wouldn't be able to move away with your luggage but, instead, would stand there like a moron with other morons piling up against you so eventually something has to give and you all tumble back down the escalator in a melee of morons and get sucked into the mechanism and ground to hanburger and they'd hose the blood down and scrub the gobbets of stupid flesh out of the machinery and start it up again and the same thing would happen again...... or if not, why the need for the notice"
The book is basically about the state of society and how we are all being treated like
big kids.
