Another BookPub read and some loved it giving 9 other 2/10 the average settled at 6.5/10 I thought less of it. Sorry but I expect a lot better from this very good author, ok he is trying something different. Britain, in an alternate 1982. This world is technologically advanced. Charlie, the protagonist, spends most of his inheritance on an incredibly lifelike robot named Adam. Trust me there are much better books out which cover these ideas, research and read better.

Score 3.5/10

Date read August 2019

BookPub reading group. A dystopian novel. What the author does very well is deliver the sense of cold and boredom. In a world where England is protected by a wall around the coast from ‘others’ trying to get in. A modern day National Service the youth are enlisted to guard the country. But fail and you are left adrift outside the wall where the unknown is. The group also scored average 5.5/10 particularly good narration on this recording.

Score 5.5/10

I doubt people will be unaware of this book, it has been made into a very good TV drama which does justice to the book. This novel is full of interest and ideas that push the reader out of the comfort zones. I liked it.

Score 7/10
