About this listen

The war on drugs has been lost but for want of the courage to face the fact that the whole world is rapidly becoming one vast criminal network. From pop stars and princes to crack whores and street kids. From the Groucho Club toilets to the poppy fields of Afghanistan, we are all partners in crime.

High Society is a story, or rather a collection of interconnected stories, that takes the listener on a hilarious, heart-breaking, and terrifying journey through the kaleidoscope world that the law has created and from which the law offers no protection.

Such a well crafted price from Ben Elton. A compelling social issue. The book presents a compelling argument for drug reform. With a backdrop of the elites of society suffering just as much as the most down trodden

Great writing again from Ben Elton

Fantastic narration of this brilliantly written book. I bought the paperback copy when it was first released. It still holds up all these years later.

Who'd have thought that a piece of fiction would make such insightful and valid arguments around legalisation of drugs. Whilst it uses this for the narrative I sit here unable to argue with the points made and it makes me wonder what would happen if this did happen.

The story itself was a good listen though the ending was a little bit of a let down.

Great listen and makes very good points
