Book review

"... there was furious debate about whether they could continue to broadcast such an intensely unpredictable situation live. Murder and mayhem were one thing, bad language was quite another."
Ben Elton, "Popcorn"

Ben Elton's take on the still hot issue of violence and sex in the media and in real life. Do they reflect, influence or feed off each other? Somewhat grotesque but shockingly entertaining. Blood, gore, satire, black humor, lots of action and some real issues underneath for those who need such in their light reading.

Neal Stephenson, "Cryptonomicon"
