I know full well that growing up is hard to do, and suffering is a vital component of the human condition and sees no racial or social construct, but this is the story of a privileged white kid who burns it all down — quite literally — and not only still has a shot at Harvard, but also has an alternate career path as an influencer fall smack into his lap | Thanks to the publisher Random House UK, Cornerstone and NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for an unbiased review |

The story is set in the near future - 2026 - after Donald Trump served two terms as President of the USA and now his daughter Ivanka is serving her first term in The White House although her father's biggest fans aren't too happy with her, believing she is too much of a liberal | Processing such news he comes to the conclusion he must right those who have wronged him in the past |
So will his inevitable utterance of two keywords from the movie title resonate with us, or bang the gong of phony tones? A man with a plan out to avenge his family.
7Would we be so sanguine then? Like no one really thought Trump would get elected | Emotive, unsettling and very nicely pitched storytelling from John Niven — I really enjoyed this |

This is a dystopian thriller of epic proportions | I recommend this book to those who enjoy reading futuristic dystopian fiction books with political satire |
The book is set a few years in the future | Niven handles the threads of the story with maturity and great empathy, the madcap Niven of old sometimes slips into the light but its a more controlled, nuanced version of his former self |

Terrifying, horrific, shocking and incredibly entertaining | If ever a book like this about the politicians in Malaysia see the light of day, that will resurrects the sedition charge to the author and the publisher |
