Review by Nigel (301200) Rating (7/10) Review
by Nigel The story revolves around two factions of differing political make ups, one autocratic with a strict hierarchy and one anarchic where people are allocated tasks equally based on a computerised rota program. The story is told in narrative form by an influential character from each camp and we see the same events through their eyes and get very different perspectives. These basic misunderstandings ultimately lead to war, even though the problems are not great and could be solved easily with open minded dialogue (a lesson for us all?). It is a well told story with a weird undercurrent in the writing that I can't quite explain... you want to shout at the characters to stop being so blinkered and sort themselves out yet it isn't annoying. A
good novel by an author with great potential, prehaps let down
by a slightly disappointing ending. I look forward to the next. |
