A review by goldiefan
High Society by Ben Elton

4.0

This book had one of the best plotlines I’ve ever read, it was addicting, engaging and perfect. Then the ending just spoiled everything for me. Let’s just say I think Peter deserved something much happier, yes he did wrong- but it just felt like the moral high ground. It felt like the endings were all left loose, and although I’m glad Jessie and Tommy were ok- I felt really sorry for Peter. I guess it’s my fault for always liking the men who get their comeuppance. The actual arguements for legalizing drugs were excellently reasearched and very convincing. Still a well done to Elton, despite the disappointing ending.
