Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a review of The Idiot Government Reviews (A Laugh Out Loud Satirical Comedy)This book, like the others in the series, tells the story through reviews of products available on Amazon.co.uk.Full of instantly recognisable characters from the world of politics, like Cameron Davies, Ted Williebond, Elouise Munch and Gary Usborn, the story lurches from the sublimely funny to the ridiculous, offering an insight into the murky world of political intrigue.This book caricatures recent political history in 'Southamptonshire', and, with a little thought, accurately reflects some real events though in a typically oblique way. A lot of the fun in this book is trying to work out the satirical references.Though it will date very quickly as political events don't last long in the public consciousness, it is an entertaining book, with some laugh out loud moments.4 stars for this original concept.Please note that I received my review copy direct from the author Pete Sortwell.
