Set in the not too distant future, Blind Faith is Ben Elton's view of how the world (well England at least) will progress, particularly after global warming has had it's impact.
The UK is a world taken over by religion and the P.C. crowd.
You can't dis anyone without being worried about them getting offended, and the 'church' has decreed that vaccinations are an abomination against god. They are man trying to be bigger than he should be.
Blind Faith is the story of one man's struggle to come to terms with being different to everyone else. However, what Trafford Sewell comes to realise is that he isn't that different to everyone else, just different to their portrayed personality.
Elton paints a dreary picture of what could happen in the world when political correctness runs amok. Blind Faith is written in typical Elton fashion, and in places you could just here him doing the monologues in his stand up routine.
However, that doesn't distract from the book, and the story (or warning) it has to tell.
Excellent reading.
4.5/5
