Since I'm a Big Brother fan, this was a fun read. ( )

A murder takes place in a British Big Brother type program called "House Arrest". The remaining contenders have to choose to stay and collect big money or run the risk of being the next victim. ( )

I Am a fan of Big Brother evern though every year I say I will not watch it,so I was really looking forward to reading this book. It did not disappoint and kept me guessing right till the end ...I had no idea "who done it" It also was very funny as always with Ben Eltons book I laughed till I cryed in some parts. I would recomend this book to anyone not just Big Brother fans ( )

I'm not really into the whole reality TV jaunt and I found it really hard to get started with this book. It wasn't long, however, before I found myself getting involved with the characters and trying to figure out who the killer was. It seemed just about everyone had some kind of motive. I have to admit, I was only half right in my guess. This isn't the most brilliantly written book in the universe, but I'd say it's worth taking a look. ( )

Book description
One house, ten contestants, thirty cameras, forty microphones, one murder...and no evidence.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0552999458, Paperback)

One house, ten contestants, thirty cameras, and forty microphones. Everybody knows the rules—total strangers are forced to live together while the rest of the country watches them do it. However, on day 27, one of the housemates is killed on live TV. Who is the murderer? How did they manage to kill under the constant gaze of the television cameras? Why did they do it? And who will be next?
