I did not know that I would like this novel as much as I did. The beginning was a bit on the slower side, but it picket up pretty quickly. This novel showed some intriguing ideas. In a world that is so obsessed with perfection and sameness, it is difficult not to search for similarities between our society and the one of Jonas. We become so fixated on being the same that we lose what makes us feel. How many times have people given up what makes them truly happy to conform to the ideals of society? This novel shows its readers what can happen if we given up our individuality. It also shows a way out from this sameness. I really enjoyed reading this novel.

frank and honest account (0 more)
I have seen Lenny Henry in many things over the years and I don't know why but i always assumed he walked straight into television, boy was i wrong. Here is an in-depth look at life growing up in 70's England and the prejudices and racism that was so prevalent in our society (and still is unfortunately). From 3 minute stints at impressions to being Trevor Mcdonut on TISWAS. Its a wonderful read and a real eye opener on what society and the entertainment industry was like. Lenny paints a picture of a time when being 'black' was a joke in itself and his frank account of incidents is a revelation (sometimes a disturbing one). Definitely a great read :)
