Blast From The Past by Ben Elton

It's 2:15 in the morning when the phone rings. What a great start to a book.
It's set over the course of an evening and has flashbacks to tell you the story of Polly and General Kent. Polly is very liberal and General Kent - well he is the other spectrum. Over the course of the book not only do you learn their story and why he has made contact with her 15 years later but it also touches on some interesting topics and gives you two different points of view.
Polly wants to save the world, have world peace, have fair and equal rights for those in 3rd world countries and make a difference.
The General doesn't want gays in the army, women in the army and is an army man through and through. It's very interesting seeing the different points of view.
This has a good thread of humour running through the book - but it's humour that makes you laugh once you think about it. Not slapstick american humour.
