For us uncomplicated souls who are slaves to "Survivor," we will enjoy the competition to the max and it is a fine fix for our need to see ordinary people cope. (Though these characters are far from ordinary!). For those who despise the whole concept of such entertainment, you will get a cackle or two out of what happens when everything goes as wrong as it can on a reality show.
24/7 is good-natured with more story lines than a daytime soap opera, but somehow the author manages to control his story. With the exception of the principals, who come off like stereotypical heroes, the characterizations are interesting and well done. Of particular interest is the former Miss Universe who has the survival instincts of a cornered cobra.
Though not for the faint of heart, the author delivers an exciting story that has more than its share of twists, turns and surprises.
Well worth the read.
