Default Dead Famous

Found this book 'Dead Famous' by Ben Elton in a charity shop the other day,published in 2001 it is eerie how a lot of the contestants over the years have mirrored the characters.....
Has anyone read it?

Yes, I read it when it first came out... hilarious and brilliantly observed. If you liked it you should try Stark and Gridlock...they are scarily prophetic too
