A review by noadwilding
Foe by Iain Reid

2.0

This would be such an original book IF RAY BRADBURY HADNT WRITTEN THE EXACT SAME THING IN 1949??? I repeatedly recommended Rein’s previous novel, “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” for its originality and gut wrenching twists. You can see then how disappointed and BETRAYED I felt when I guessed the ending to this novel half way through. Objectively it was a fine book but I’m so insulted how similar it is to “Marionettes Inc” by Bradbury, it’s borderline plagiarism and I had to rate it lower. Iain Reid if you’re reading this, put respect on my man Bradbury’s name and come up with your own ideas stealy mcstealer face!
