Product Description

Product Description

Supposing you went into a nightclub where the odds were stacked in your favour. Where every other person in there was single, in your social and economic class, and interested in the things you were interested in.

Supposing you got to see who was going to the nightclub beforehand, and got to choose who would be let in.

And just suppose everybody else in the nightclub had done the exact same thing.

The Government is doing this for the entire single population of the country.

The Ministry of Love.

Love. Everyone wants it.
Prime Minister Alexander Fairfax reckons he might just get a second term if he can provide the people with it. Dr Julian Tredestrian, the most brilliant mind of his generation, reckons he has a plan how to deliver it. International assassin The Stoat (The Jackal was already taken) has been tasked by powerful interests to stop it.
In the middle of all this, Chief Inspector Switzerland has got to catch a serial killer who keeps killing really irritating celebrities.
Love. It always gets a bit messy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny and well worth the money 16 July 2011
By G. Gilmour
Format:Kindle Edition
I purchased this based on how much I enjoyed the 'Spoofers Guide to the Lisbon Treaty' - available for free on the authors website.

Its a funny, intelligent satire that neatly combines the authors irreverent sense of humor, knowledge of the murky depths of politics and (presumably) deep discontent at the state of popular culture today.

Great fun - especially for those of us grew up in the 'good old days' :-)

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite What It Seems 5 April 2013
By Mrs M
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this because I was intrigued by the idea of the main premise, the Ministry Of Love, as the book is titled, but I was disappointed when said subject matter seemed to take a back seat to a more general story about a vigilante serial killer knocking off low ranking celebrities. In fact the actual Ministry of Love seemed to me to be a minor theme after its initial introduction and I found myself wanting to know more about this and less about the other characters tracking down the serial killer. I also felt that a lot of the comments and references, although quite valid, regarding celebrities/celebrity culture and those seeking fame, were a bit too heavy handed.

Despite all this I did enjoy the book in general but it is not one I would go back to and not one I would recommend others especially to seek out. Thankfully I only paid 99p or I would have felt much more aggrieved.

5.0 out of 5 stars the not-too-distant future of Britain...? 24 Mar 2013
By Al Catraz
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very funny, fast-paced novel which you won't want to put down.

With our society's obsession with reality TV and celebrity gossip these days, the world of celebrity and politics portrayed by the author is scarily close to the truth. There is a hint of "Yes, Prime Minister" about the politics, and I loved the newspaper headline stories scattered throughout the book.

Could this book be a glimpse of our future...?
