A review by yelisiei
High-Rise by J.G. Ballard

3.0

I wanted to like this book. It’s dark, violent. It reminds me “Lord of the flies” and “The Death of Grass”. The prose is beautiful. Ballard’s style of writing is gorgeous and unique.
But I can’t. It was a hard read for me.
I do not rate a book. I rate my enjoyment of reading the book. So perhaps the book is great. But was it a fun read? Not for me.
