When I picked up The Ghost by Robert Harris, I did not read the inside cover as I usually do, and in not doing so thought I was buying a novel probably about a ghost.
Well the ghost turned out to be a writer whom is aptly not named in this political novel, but is hired after Mike McAra the ghost writer of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang commits "suicide."
Started reading this last Thursday and continuing today this caustic novel is packed with inveiglement, domination, and manipulation.
Mr. Harris, I believe has used this "novel" to unveil more of his own political views on the British government and its war on terrorists.
Great read, will have to finish next week!

Thanks for your comments on The Ghost. I like some of the ideas you talked about, and while I am not really interested in reading the book I am interested in the story my mind is weaving with the little bits that you shared. I hope you continue to enjoy it!
It is interesting enough but as of now, not for me!
