| Summary |
In these witty, outrageous ten laws, beloved polymath (or virtuosic wordsmith?) Bob Ellis investigates dislocation and security, youth and old age, competence and charisma. He explains why, among other things: bicycles encouraged premarital sex more than any other invention, power flows to the most boring man in the room, people are forgiven for almost anything if they are tall enough, moving address too many times causes madness, the rising price of a roof causes evil, and all CEOs - except, perhaps, George Lucas - should be sacked, fined or imprisoned. Perceptive and ever-surprising, Ellis also reveals no less than the secret to human happiness: tall ceilings. |
