Meet Raymond Gunt. A decent chap who tries to do the right thing. Or, to put it another way, the worst person ever: a foul-mouthed, misanthropic cameraman, trailing creditors, ex-wives and unhappy homeless people in his wake. Men dislike him, women flee from him. WORST. PERSON. EVER, is a deeply unworthy book about a dreadful human being with absolutely no redeeming social value. Gunt"s downward failure spiral takes him from London to Los Angeles and then on to an obscure island in the Pacific where a major American TV network is shooting a Survivor-style reality show. Along the way, we meet Raymond"s upwardly failing sidekick, Neal, as well as Raymond"s ex-wife, Fiona, herself "an atomic bomb of pain".
