I've been recommending this book ever since it reduced me to tears of laughter on an Intercity train - slightly embarrassing as three complete strangers stopped me to ask what I was reading. Tom Holt flips our world on its side, tweaks it around a bit and then bats it back - hard. The problem is that if you know people who engage in management buyouts and go to meetings with them, you find yourself thinking of Tom Holt at the most inappropriate moments - especially the bit about parliaments and animals...but to say more would be to give the game away - treat yourself, you won't regret this purchase.
