Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
The war on drugs has been lost, but afraid to face that fact, the whole world is quickly becoming one vast criminal network. From the Groucho Club toilets to the poppy fields of Afghanistan, we are all partners in crime, and this story takes us through the landscape it has created.




Customer Reviews
User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - The only good Ben Elton book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thus far, this is the only good Ben Elton book that I have read.

The two other books I tried to read by Elton I never finished because they were bizarre to the point of stupidity. I just couldn't read it anymore. Anyway, these two books, Dead Famous and Past Mortem, are so ridiculous it's hard to become interested and actually relate to the characters. Therefore, these characters cannot move me in the way that good writing can move me.

This is not the case with this novel. Please write a sequel to this book, Mr. Elton, otherwise, your work will likely be remembered as airport/beach junk writing rather than real literature.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Ben Elton always delivers a good read
If you're already a Ben Elton fan, you won't be disappointed. Plenty of laughs and keeps you turning pages.

Challenges you to consider today's drug culture and the organised crime that surrounds it, presenting both sides of the story in a light tone.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - He's a Clever Bugger
Ben Elton makes me sick. Comedy writer, comedian, playrite, producer and now novelist. As much as I wanted to criticise his writing skills or the plot or the characters, I can't. The book takes a candid look into the murky world of drugs and asks some searching questions of government policies and peoples attitude to one of society's major problem. Well written, well researched, simply fantastic.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - BRING BEN ELTON TO AMERICA
I have bought Ben Elton books all over the world, from Oxford Street in London to remote villages in Greek Islands, yet cannot buy his books in my local Borders in New York City. Something must be done. Justice must be served. Ben Elton to America... ASAP


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Tommy Hanson Rules
This was my very first read or for that matter very first exposure to Ben Elton. I was hooked in the very very first paragraph, very funny and yes over the top characters. But that is what is fun about the book, a comical stereotypical handling of a very serious subject: Drugs and the possible effects of legalization of drugs. I have often re-read the exerps of the lead character Tommy Hanson the Rock Star. I am currently reading DEAD FAMOUS and will probably read STARK next. Buy HIGH SOCIETY, read it, enjoy it, good read for your subsequent trip by airplane.
