The first Scarlett Thomas book I read. I came across this book when it was new out in my local bookshop, the cover was quite eye-catching and the blurb seemed interesting enough. Now over ten years later the author is amongst my top five and I've enjoyed her later works even more. That being said this is still a good read; the characters and all diverse and interesting, the plot takes you on plenty of twists and turns.

Overall it is very readable and insightful book that was ahead of its time! Scarlett Thomas is poking fun at TV shows such as Big Brother and I'm A Celebrity not only before others did but whilst the shows themselves were still in their infancy.

A book that is still very current even though it is ten years old. I have re-read it a few times and still find myself picking up new things about the characters.
