My main take-away from this book is "Thank goodness I am not a celebrity" and "doesn't the British press have any real news to cover?" The book certainly held my interest.
I have now gone back to the Outlander book I missed. Since this was covered in the tv show, I never felt like I'd missed anything, but off course I did. Many stories not covered or not covered in depth by the tv show keep me reading. In this book we watch the beginnings of the Revolution develop without (as yet anyway) meeting any names we recognize from history. The tv show took some liberties, telling us things out of order (which makes them make less sense) and combining events (also less sense.)
