A review by 5teverin0
The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard, Martin Amis

4.0

This book has much the same claustrophobic, tense feel as some of Ballard's other work (High Rise comes to mind). However, the mystical elements of this story make it stand out for me, even though I had kind of a hard time working through that part of it. Regardless of how successful I was in understanding some of the more cerebral elements of the story, I enjoyed them nonetheless. And, on the surface, it's a good dystopian tale with some decent action, if that is your sort of thing (it is mine).
