Sussex Drive by Linda Svendsen

Started: 9 Feb 2013
Finished: not finished
Pages: 350

No, I didn't finish this one. I only read the first 50 pages or so before giving up.

The problem is that the book was supposed to be a comedy but wasn't remotely funny.  The comedy consisted of the"naughtiness" of writing about Steven Harper, Lauren Harper, and Michelle Jaen using characters with different names but unmissable parallels with the real people and the real events around the prorogation of parliament.  And by making the people and events just a little more extreme than real life.   Umm...so?  

Maybe it improved afterwards, but I lost interest.
