paddlefoot55 's review for:
ARC received from 852 Press for an honest review
Wow! Richard Evans has given us his best book yet with The Kill Bill.
From the moment I picked this book up, I was hooked. I didn't want to put it down to go to work,
Many stories and lives intertwine, all seamlessly coming together as we wander through the minefield that is voluntary euthanasia (note, I am all for it. We treat animals better at end of life than we do human beings, but that is a debate to have with me another day).
One thing that I am certain about is that we need a separation of church and state. As an athiest myself, I do not want a church telling me how to live my life, and they should not be getting involved in our government systems (again, another debate to have with me another day) and when the Vatican gets itself involved in Australian legislation in The Kill Bill, it cements that for me. They have enough things they should be looking at in their own house instead of getting involved here.
And it only made me hate the church more.
I like how the main players in this tale - The Prime Minister, the Attorney General and a PM wannabe/treasurer take different stands on the church involvement, even when they are conflicted. I liked how this was dealt with.
Richard Evans experience as a politician shines through as he tells a tale full of scandals, ethical dilemmas, and the tale as old as time - everyone out for what they can get for themselves.
He delivers the world of political and church machinations, the wheelings and dealings that will get you thinking (and probably adding another healthy level of cynacism to it!)
I hope we get more of the Referendum series in the future.
