Daydream Believers

Corpalism Compendium #2

by Arun D. Ellis

This is all about PAYBACK, payback for the corrupt politicians, payback for the duplicitous thieving bankers, payback for the abusers of children, payback for the greedy and the selfish 1%.

Revolutionary pensioners who are fed up with unchecked immigration and hell bent on removing corrupt politicians, sexually predatory murderous fat ladies, Machiavellian political intriguers, a mad-eyed Preacher trying to reach the souls of a disinterested public, a chivalric knight, men at work, an avenging 'hand of god', a celebrity 'golden' couple sleeping with everyone but their partner, jackpot winners and a homicidal diarist all combine to create an entertaining story of modern-day Britain.

And Nightmare Deceivers.

I enjoyed Corpalism and even more so, Daydream Believers. To enjoy reading about a plot by our corporate controlled governments to reduce the world's population in one engineered mega disaster seems odd, but the writing, sub-plots and characters bring the scenario alive, with a certain amount of humour. Call me a conspiraloon, but to me the central theme in this book is all too feasible to my mind. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Great book, loads of different interrelated storylines, a thoroughly enjoyable and at times funny read with some amazing ideas. The biggest terrorist atrocity ever, the biggest attack on the political system ever and all co-ordinated by the secret service. Then there's the fat ladies and Pinky, the homicidal office worker, the stinking rich footballer and loads more, absolutely crazy. My fave character was Mr Tucker, hard bastard.

Long but enjoyable

This is the (loose) follow up to Corpalism and finds the conspiracies entranched in global governments and corporations far more shocking and far reaching than ever before. Their aim is still to keep the masses downtrodden and under control but this time its all about keeping numbers down as well as morale. Again there are many interwoven and interlinking stories, some of which come together, some of which remain as a social commentary. I found this more enjoyable than the first as it was easier to read and to follow the different strands and the coldness with which the corporations and governments discussed population management was phenomenal and chills me even now. Again I feel that there was still a little too much going on but it was much more coherent and the conspiratal views certainly came through (and then some!). Another enthralling read from Ellis that makes you wonder what is really behind the headlines.

To be frank, this book blew my socks off!

For five months I didn't have time to read for pleasure, so I had to stop almost halfway through. During that time away my mind kept drifting back to this book. I was so looking forward to picking it up again.

& when I finally did I was not disappointed! I enjoyed Corpalism, but I loved Daydream Believers. It's the type of book that as soon as you've finished you wish you could clear it from you memory so to read it again with fresh eyes.

Absolutely fantastic. A true masterpiece!

Fantastic. The second book by Ellis and the second one in his Corpalism series. There are several, lots actually, of interwoven story lines, the main one relating to a bunch of pensioners who determine to strike back against the Government and politicians for what they perceive as a national betrayal. There is also a central conspiracy by a shadowy group who seem to control the destiny of nations. All good stuff.

I enjoyed this book - it's the follow up to Corpalism but not that obvious in that not all the story lines carry forwards, in fact most of them don't, it's just the timeline that continues really. I did prefer this one because I found it easier to read.

When Brexit happened I recalled these books, Corpalism I & II, and have since re-read them and I am amazed at how relevant they are to today especially after Trump's win. If you want to know about the growing revolution in the West then try these books, they just keep getting better.

I did enjoy Corpalism but I thought Daydream Believers was excellent, definitely one to keep and read over and over. Both books catch the current mood brilliantly. Hoping there'll be a Corpalism III.

Really enjoyable read. Lots of different aspects to this one. Loads of conspiracies, political intrigue, terror plots, and then just some general chatter amongst ordinary folk, oh yeah and the odd mass murdering psychopath thrown in for short order. Recommended.

[Ben · Rating 5 out of 5]

How many conspiracies are in this book? Really entertaining and the attack on ********** is really satisfying.

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really like this book, particularly the old codgers. The first book jumped all over the place but this one has a consistent timeline which some people might find easier to read.

This really is about a peoples revolt against the powerful elites, a comedy but with brutal results, absolutely loved it.
