The Day I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love Berkeley Hunt

by Peter Rauth

Berkeley Hunt doesn't want to be Prime Minister of the UK. Although mystified by nearly everything, and ill-equipped for the role as Head of Government, he nonetheless endeavours to do 'The Right Thing'. Cajoled, bullied and blackmailed by his older brother, Investment Banker, Mike, 'The Right Thing', however, is usually thwarted. Succeeding Donald Strumpet, the joyless and frigid Hilary Poinswatter is ensconced in The White House with her philandering husband and ex-President, Jimmy. In Moscow, the lovely but lethal Vladimira Pushkin is the first female President. She has blackmailed Poota Bastardo, the corrupt President of Argentina, to participate in her scheming. Berkeley Hunt must deal with the shenanigans of both the Russian and US Presidents, as well as the intrigues within the British Establishment itself, a task to which he is wholly unsuited. As events come to a head, he must decide between personal survival and doing 'The Right Thing'.

If you enjoy parody this is the book for you. You will find characters such as Bill & Hillary Clinton, Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel, Trump and a variety of world leaders in this fun book. Given all that's going on in our world it's nice to have a good laugh now and again.

I wouldnt usually choose a book like this to read. However, i fancied something a little different and i am glad i did.
Its funny and relevent. As i read each parody character, i could see easily in my minds eye, who each one was meant to be.
I wont go too much in to detail, if Politics and comedy are your thing, then give this a go.

"The Day I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Berkeley Hunt" is an acidly satirical take on today's over-the-top political world that astonishingly mirrors and deftly distorts to hilarious effect the true-life shenanigans we hear about daily. The characters in this well-drawn political theater of the absurd are unforgettable!

It's a very good book, sarcastic, irrelevant and hilarious....
