Journal Entry 1 by Vroomfondel from Shipley, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Saturday, April 29, 2006
Amazon.co.uk synopsis:
"Jack Spratt is a policeman on the door of Number Ten. When the Prime Minister decides that the only way to get closer to the men and women on the street is to travel around the country incognito and find out what they really think, he enlists Jack's help. Leaving his high-powered, ambitious wife to hold the fort, he and Jack set out. But neither can foresee how their extraordinary odyssey will impact on world affairs. Or their own lives."
This book starts slowly and just seems to be a pastiche of New Labour, even down to the names of the characters. However, as they book comes to its conclusion, it gets serious, interesting and has a lot to say about Britain in the early 21st century. An excellent story.
Updated 1 July: Taken to the BookCrossing UK Unconvention in Birmingham.
