My Terrible Review Of A Book You Should Read.

The Worst Date Ever or
How it took a comedy writer to expose Africa's secret war.
Jane Bussmannn

I was out actually contemplating buying an e-reader and decided against it for now. I ended up looking round a bookshop to see if there was anything interesting out. This book caught my eye.
Jane Bussmann,a comedy writer, newspaper columnist has written a book that I would really recomend.
I've never read a book that had me with tears streaming down my face one second then had me rolling about laughing.
It is a memoir that goes from Hollywood to Uganda.
In Hollywood you get an insight into the crazy world of celebrities when she moved to LA from the UK and ends up working as a celebrity journalist. She decides to go to Africa to interview a respected peacemaker who she finds very attractive.
In Uganda she ends up alone investigating war crimes. The abduction of thousands of children by the Lord's Resistance Army who are used as soldiers and a whole lot worse.
You realise she is really out of her depth but she succeeds in getting this out to the wider world.
I am not very good at writing a review, but I felt this book deserves to be a bestseller and in my view a must read. If you do you will not regret it. I found it difficult to put down. It left me thinking about what a crazy world we live in, but there is hope.
