Natural Born Killers. If you've seen that movie you will surely see many similarities with this novel. Bruce Delamitri is an academy-nominee for best director. His movies are filled with violence and many critics are saying that they influence people to commit crimes. Through America two murders are travelling in their genuine American car, and kills just about everyone that gets in their way. Naturally people connects these murderers behaviour with Delamitri's movies. Little does Bruce now that within 24 hrs after he has received his award they will have a deep impact on his life. Or to be more accurate; his life, his ex-wife's life, his agents life, his daughters life, his date-for-the-night life and a couple of other lifes that are more or less uninteresting. They are all taken hostage by the maniacs that has got some unusual demands. With a mix of Natural Born Killers, Tarantino and some very black humour, Ben Elton has managed to write a very amusing and very violent novel. Ben Elton is mostly known for his scripts for the British tv-series Black Adder and The Young Ones. His book Blast From the Past is currently on the bestseller-lists.
