review 1: I was made aware that this book was presently free on Amazon and reading the synopsis thought it might be worth a read...luckily it was!!it's a book of two parts really,the first part focuses on a future Britain where individual rights have been taken away and the mass populous lie in debt..which isn't too far from where we are today but the book makes this point by using the second part to use current and imagined events to point the origin of the grim future.it's a book which anyone with any understanding of UK politics would follow and though it retreats areas I have read before it does show by adding a fictional element ensuring that it is plot driven rather than statistical conjecture.the first part of the book deals with twists and turns and is possibly the more enga... moreging section..I think the reason the second part engaged me less was purely as I had read much of the debate before or held similar views to some of the characters so learnt or engaged less...that said the narrative was still enjoyable enough and I was pleased I came across this book.
review 2: I love dystopian novels. Unfortunately, I did NOT love this book. The first 100 pages or so were filled with promise, but it quickly fizzled into passages of long-winded, preachy dialogue, and little action. The author would have been more successful if he had abandoned the fictional premise, and just written a book regarding his personal views about where society is headed, and how we're getting there. Instead, he attempted to weave his beliefs into a slow moving story, where he constantly bludgeons the reader over the head with how horrible, unfair, and irrational everyone with any authority is. Government, police, business...they're all portrayed as thoughtless and the source of all problems.This book would most likely appeal to those who are either still young and idealistic, or individuals who feel bitter and disenfranchised. Otherwise, I'd give this one a pass. less
