A review by rapini
The Children of Men by P.D. James

3.0

I saw the movie first and did not particularly enjoy it, mostly because the violence and extreme action are not to my taste in entertainment. Therefore I was reluctant to read this book, but I did anyway because my book group chose it. I enjoyed this book much more than expected -- and the book is quite different in plot and tone from the movie -- but the dystopic setting is still not my favorite.
