"why can't i give a book zero stars? this book gets zero stars. maybe even negative stars.
also i would like to add that if you think this book is good you should try to read better books so that you have some sort of standard of comparison. seriously: people are probably talking about this behind your back."
By Sabrann,
Chelteham, Gloucestershire, The United Kingdom
"This was the first book by Ben Elton that I'd read and wasn't sure what to expect - but it instantly pulled me in. I couldn't understand the logic behind the 'collapse' that lead society to the way it was as the main character narrated it, but I could accept it.
SPOILER The whole book is very '1984' in some ways, mixed in with the 'Jeremy Kyle' confessionary style outlook on life, and was amazingly, and almost flawlessly excuted - though, I did 'see' the ending coming a mile off - possibly because of the parallells by then, between 1984 and Blind Faith.
A very good book, and an excellent read - no problems with the copy on my eReader."
"Blind faith is another Ben Elton book where he takes a current idea and twists it into the worst direction he could. While it was a good idea and the story at times was gripping, at other times I became frustrated about how slowly the story was going and felt the betrayal was all a little simplistic. Nothing near as good as Past Mortem. Elton continues to produce books that make you critically think about the world, but I feel this one most people have already realised the self obsessed society he portrays is an unhealthy one."
"'1984' for an internet generation. A bit too jaded and cynical for my taste, though Elton is a master world-builder. Not overly fond of being smacked over the head with repeated 'atheism is the only true reasonable way!' message, nor did I think the jab at the One campaign all that witty. Lost pace towards the end."
