So very strange, tense, unsettling, quintessentially British. I got literal shivers on occasion reading this. As effective and memorable as Fahrenheit 451 or Children of Men. I really enjoyed this reading experience.

The overall feeling it gave was definitely ominous. not really knowing the threats that these characters face whilst also knowing what they have done is eerie. I won’t lie, sometimes i got a bit lost, Kay Dicks style of writing in this novel could be quite abrupt and to the point at times.
