about this book: A roller-coaster attendant declares war on the entertainment corporation that employs him.

Greg spends his days helping people onto the Sheep Dip roller coaster at Meredith Scott Park, and helping them off again when the ride is over. But despite the smiles he sees everywhere in the park, something feels wrong.

The corporation has a secret. And when Greg thinks he has discovered what it is, he realizes he has no choice but to try to bring the whole firm down, before it can spread its poison further through its films, TV shows, theme parks and merchandise.

But what can a lone worker do against the might of a multinational corporation?

And in trying to find the truth about a business that specializes in making dreams, how can Greg be sure what is real and what may be pure imagination?

Having Fun is part-thriller, part-satire, a twisting, turning roller-coaster ride into one man's obsession. If you've ever been to a theme park and wondered what might lie behind the laughter, this book is for you.
