I was keen to read this book, even though I'm not a great fan of reality shows. I was curious how Mr Stanley could fit so many characters, plus "A Voice" and a narrator into a novel without me getting lost. (as I have in other books). I didn't! I found it thoroughly engaging. The characters are unique, although I had a particular liking for Jane. The plot is intriguing and pacy. It is so well written you find yourself savouring the words. (Trust me, I am skimmer, but not on this occasion) I also found there was a lot to be learned from the individual characters 'journey.' The humour is cleverly delivered and I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions. Highly recommended.
