"The Bile Within" Suzie Flank

Supposed to be a possible Booker Prize winner, you've got to be kidding. The plot is incredibly contrived and truly bizzarre. A Frenchman living in London catches the sars virus from a chinese waiter in china town and for the next 235 pages we read about his decline into depression, madness and finally suicide. Where was the supposed `delightful black humour???

Did you just make that up? I'd be surprised if there has been enough time to write a book about Sars since the outbreak of the epidemic, let alone get it into published or pre-published form and in contention for this year's Man Booker Prize, the long list of which has already been published (with bile, admittedly, but without your Suzie). d.beswetherick.

Granted it was word of mouth i.e the person who lent it to me? I'm kind of relieved. Did I make it up?..... I see your point, but what would be the point?
