Dead Famous

Few days ago, i had finally finished the mid semester examination which contributes 5% to my final grade at the end of the year. No doubt that i had been so stressed out, and studying everyday. And now, it's over and holidays begin.

It will be very boring if there's nothing to do for holidays, so i had done some 'preparations' before coming back to hometown. Few series, few dramas, few movies and one book to keep me 'busy' for this one week holidays. Of all the entertainments that i had planned out, there's one that really keep me up - the book called Dead Famous, written by Ben Elton. It just grabbed all my attention, and reading this book was more than fun.

So, what's this book about? Well, it's actually about a murder case in a reality show, with 10 contestants and only 1 winner of half a million pounds. All for money and fame. Not a simple murder case but the one with all the mystery, with fiendishly clever plan, and with evil motive, a true thriller. It's those murder case that requires one to crack his/her brain, straining all the neurons and a little more 'out-of-box' imagination in order to solve the mystery. Definitely suitable for those who enjoy and appreciate the power of human brain, and of course for those who love and welcome challenges for a mind battle.

Some may find book like this dull, lacklustre or even dreary. But somehow, the way the author organised his words and ideas had brilliantly succeeded in making the book alive. It's funny, outrageous, hillarious and last but not least, addictive. Full of good humour and sarcasm that make you wonder how he did it. Not only that, one can also know how reality TV is made to become the 'reality', something for all those fans of reality TV shows.

After reading this book, not only that i have learned that how easilly people's mind can be manipulated, i have seen through the 'cultures' and 'types' of people. Personally, it's more than an entertaining thriller, it also serves a lot in giving values, and knowing what is real and what is lies. Conclusively, this is a book that is worth spend time reading, it's more than you have expected.

Sometimes, what you see with your eyes might not be the reality. Eyes only serve as a tool or window for information, whereas the brain is the one that actually 'sees'. Never let the eyes decide for the mind, it should be the mind who decides and 'sees'...
