tattoos and their nipple rings, their mutual interest in star signs, their endless hugging and touching, and above all their complete lack of genuine intellectual curiosity about one single thing on this planet that was not directly connected with themselves.However, Elton adds a clever twist to this very funny send-up. On Day 27 of the programme, one of the housemates is killed live on TV. Everyone in the country has a theory about the killer, "indeed the only person who seemed to have absolutely no idea whatsoever of the killer's identity was Inspector Stanley Spencer Coleridge, the police officer in charge of the investigation". Coleridge is an old fogey from the 1950s, who has to learn quickly about lesbians, piercings, blow jobs and the seductions of TV fame before he can crack the case. Elton's wicked parody of the housemates is brilliant, the murder fiendish in its ingenuity, and the ending wonderfully over the top. Dead Famous is great fun, and even has some social comment thrown in for good measure. --Jerry Brotton -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Kundenrezensionen
Well, Ben Elton's DEAD FAMOUS can be seen as a high-tech high-speed variation on the traditional detective novel, especially on the locked-room mysteries. Chief Inspector Coleridge and his team are faced with a particularly heinous crime: the murder of one of the ten contestants in a reality TV show called HOUSE ARREST. What makes their case so spectacular is that the murder has been committed in a sealed environment in which dozens of live cameras have been installed. Still the identity of the killer is unknown. It takes Coleridge and his young colleagues Hooper and Trisha an exciting 330 pages to work it all out. In the meantime, what else is going to happen?
Lovers of crime fiction will be thrilled by this book, but readers who enjoy fast-paced stories, excellent plotting, weird humour and hard-hitting social criticism will be equally delighted. DEAD FAMOUS is the kind of novel you just can't stop reading, so don't start if you have to get up early the next morning!
Das Erfolgsrezept aller seiner bisherigen Werke garantiert auch dieses mal wieder nervenzerreißende Spannung gepaart mit mindestens einem Lacher pro Seite. Ben Elton schafft es wieder, uns die Absurdität unserer Gesellschaft auf amüsante Weise und ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger aufzuzeigen.
In "Dead Famous" wird das Phänomen Big Brother aufgegriffen und daraus eine fesselnde Mordgeschichte im Haus konstruiert. Wie kann es sein, dass Millionen von Fans live im TV einen Mord beobachten, aber niemand weiß, wer der Täter war? Beim Studieren der Videobänder vom Haus vor dem Mord und bei den Vernehmungen danach kommen immer neue Details ans Tageslicht die dazu verleiten, seltsamsten Theorien zu entwickeln, wer warum den Mord begangen hat.
Mit "Dead Famous" sind Spannung, Humor und Gesellschaftskritik garantiert. Es ist sicher eines der besten und witzigsten "whodunit" die jemals geschrieben wurden.
It is not one of these stories you know everything from the beginning, and it is not one of these stories you know nothing until everything is solved in the last line of the book. This one is different. Most of us possibly remember "Big Brother" - no, not Orwell's, but this voyeuristic TV program in which you could watch strange people having their lunches, showers, or whatever. And strange they are! You didn't watch? Inspector Coleridge didn't either. He is one of these last old-fashioned police officers who cannot follow the speed of modern times any more, and one of those who don't even want to. Will he convict the murderer anyway?
In the beginning, the only thing you know is that someone has been murdered; it's mentioned on page one, but you have to wait till the last third of the book to even learn who was the victim. In the end, there is a Hercule Poirot-like showdown, but in this story, the outcome seems to be rather uncertain.
Yet one thing is certain: I envy you who can still read it.
Sicherlich nicht. Das ganze Buch ist genauso wenig witzig wie 5 Minuten "Big Brother" im Fernsehen: Die Männer sind Prolos und reden über... Lesen Sie weiter...
