4.0�toiles sur 5 great, funny read!, Juil 16 2004

Par	Kate C. (Lansing, MI USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Popcorn: A Novel (Paperback)

i read this book in a single night mostly because, as the novel explores people's attachment to entertainment, this books was WAY better than anything on TV!
a little violent at times, there are many plot twists which are funny and sometimes scarry in their accuracy of how the media is attracted to, and portray's violence, for the public.
the ending was a wee bit predictable but enjoyable all the same with a healthy mix of critical satire and humor.
definately worht catching!

5.0�toiles sur 5 Impressive as satire and as thriller, Juil 30 2003

Par	Trevor Kettlewell "http://people.aapt.net.au/... (Nowra, NSW Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Popcorn: A Novel (Paperback)

Elton comprehensively condemns the Tarantino phenomenon: it's not art, it's nasty and exploitative, pornographic and promotes violence. But he's not just too old these days to get it: he writes chapters perfectly ripping off the style. It could have merely been a thinly veiled essay (and is at times), but in satirising, Elton has written a very decent thriller - ironically at times by introducing the very archetypical characters he's condemning.

Add to this his usual sharp comic stand-up perspectives, and you've got a powerful read. It should date given its very specific pop-culture context, but it may even be good enough not to. This book is well put together, underpinned by a dry and incisive wit, has some very impressive satire, and makes some penetrating criticisms in an enormously enjoyable and compelling form.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Very Violent., D�c 19 2002

Par	T West (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Popcorn: A Novel (Paperback)

This was a very violent very funny moving book. No point in breaking the book down piece by piece,but lets say fans of Pulp Fiction type movies will absolutely love this book. Ben Elton is a great writer. It seems his writing ridicules the exact world he makes a living from,which makes it even better.

I imagine Elton coming up with the idea for this book after an evening of "stimulating" dinner conversation with friends on the topic of ultraviolence in film. Read more
