review 1: The world-building was very, very good--and the first half of the book was teeming with images of an earth that was no place any of us would want to live. It began as a perfect cautionary tale for humanity. But, I think what didn't work for me was that the rest of the book got caught up in too narrow of a plot focus. The dystopian world was so incredible that, perhaps, it added to my disappointment in the lack of character depth. And the plot in the second half was riding on the characters. In the end, the characters weren't well developed enough to carry the tragedy in the story. I gave it four stars, and even leaned toward three. If I could have, three and a half stars (which still isn't bad--and it was that incredible world-building that earned t... morehem).
review 2: Consider a world where the population is decimated by climate change and anti-biotic resistant germs. With food and power restrictions and where a corporate organisation controls everything from religion to the amount of water a household may use."World Mart" by Leigh M. Lane presents a view of what our own world might become in the not too distant future.This book for me was enjoyable to read even if it didn't have a happy ending. less
