I thought the first half of this book was pretty damn funny but then Ronson appears to try and add some pathos by talking about "the dark side" of the CIA experiments and the like. Which is all fine and well but it's not very well researched and there are a lot better books out there about that. Should've stuck to the credulous nature of the US military... |

67. Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf
68. Wicked - Gregory McGuire | 69. The Xmas Factor - Annie Sanders
Chicl-Lit based around the Christmas period, reading this is the book equivalent of watching a Christmas film. I really enjoyed it, even the pre-requisite cheesey ending! |
