![]() No n'hi ha cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I realize Sue Townsend is very ill, and very brave to try to carry on. But the magic is gone. I couldn't follow it, nor did I find any of the characters appealing or 3 dimensional. Sad. ( ![]() This is a totally different original book. Edward Clare the new Labour Prime minister of the UK is down in the polls he has lost touch with the common man he is meant to represent. So with the assistance of a Police man called Jack he goes on a secret whirlwind tour of the country, so no one recognises him he dresses as a woman. This way he gets to see exactly what the normal people think of him and his policies. A quirky and unusual novel about an unloved British Prime Minister who decides to dress in drag and tour the country to get an idea of the realities the common man faces. It's a weird storyline full of weird characters, odd situations and strange sub plots but somehow it all works and is quite an interesting book (maybe because it is so weird), unfortunately the overall enjoyment is somewhat tarnished by the rather abrupt ending. Amusing read, but I guess it's much more fun when you're actually British. :-) Such a bleak, funny look at Britain 2001. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
