The Absolute Bull of New Zealand

This book is a satire of the judicial system of New Zealand (or for that matter in most countries of the world). The word is out that the system is soft on certain elements of society as seen not only by disillusioned victims of criminality but also by the horrified majority at large. There are of course exceptions when the punishment fits the crime but they are few and far between.<p>In a sense this book is rather unusual. It has no romance no well-defined characters no geographical setting and only a smattering of narrative. It has a beginning and an end and a large middle. It doesn't have a plot. In short it breaks every rule in the . . . er book.<p>It's probably one of few books in the world that can be described as conversational for at least 80 percent of the pages. And if that's not bizarre enough the conversation involves a bull a meerkat and a shark. Go figure.<p>
