Recensioner

Dödskänd av Ben Elton

"En dokusåpa som är misstänkt lik Big Brother. Ett hus. Tio tävlande. Trettio kameror. Fyrtio mikrofoner. Vem kommer att bryta samman först? Vilka kommer att ligga med varandra? Vilka blir publikens favoriter? Samt en ny fråga...
Inför alla kameror blir en av deltagarna mördad. Vem är mördaren? Hur gjorde han eller hon för att inte bli avslöjad av alla kamerorna? Intressanta personporträtt, inte speciellt sympatiska men desto färgstarkare."

En mörk samtida satirisk version av både den klassiska deckaren och av dagens dokusåpa.
Myckett rolig, spännande och tänkvärd...… (mer)
