Review by Cat (311212) Rating (9/10) Review
by Cat From the very beginning, I was completely engrossed and taken along with each of the character’s own hopeless, and at times horrific, journeys, while all the time desperately concerned about out how they would or could be reunited. The contrast in worlds and difference in time allows humorous and often poignant observations about human behaviour, and the hypocrisies and inequalities within modern day society. However, this social commentary is not overpowering, and the plotline is exciting and cleverly woven; I usually find science fiction-esk books difficult to read and am challenged to enjoy what is not plausible, but this is so well thought through and shaped that the implausibility ceased to matter and I was completely sucked in.
There is just the right amount of appealing and deliciously sinister
characters that are well crafted and sadly missed when the story
comes to its thrilling end. The climax builds quickly and is thoroughly
satisfying. This is a really refreshing and enjoyable read that
will appeal to most. It made my laugh, it made me cry, it made
me ponder and it made me want to keep reading until the end...
and then it made me want more! I highly recommend it anyone... |
