4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a read!, 21 Jul 2004
By Mark (London, Greater London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
After hearing the media's over-hyped version of things, it was great to read something that puts it all into context. Ronson does the impossible and manages to take a really funny look at conspiracy theories and Islamic fanticism (the bit about the controversial cleric and the choc-ice still makes me laugh).

My only problem with the book is that it storms off brilliantly, moving from one set of extremists to another, but this does not continue throughout the book. Therefore, it's only let down is that the start is so good, that the last half cannot possibly keep the same pace and quality of laughs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really excellent, 29 Dec 2003
By A Customer
This book was funny, chilling and informative. Without excusing the State from its crass and at times brutal behaviour, it acts as a timely antidote to the various conspiracy theories circulating nowadays. Everyone should read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Clever, 25 Mar 2004
By Joel Stobart "Joel" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I heartily recommend this brilliant, comical, farsical, but in the end down right clever book. Written as a set of encounters, this book is cutting at times and hilarious at others.
