I found this is some ways very challenging and yet easy to read.
It has really stuck in my head for days after, the characterisation, the location description and the utterly unexpected love story in the middle. Incredibly through provoking and visceral. The almost stream of consciousness writing style took a while to get into, then I flew through the book.
Loses points as I didn’t like the end at all. But that’s me and doesn’t detract from the utter necessity of people to read it, and do everything we can to avoid the future it imagines.
