It was unusual. I get the impression that Ballard's books are often unusual in sort of the same way, but I couldn't say yet. It was also just the right length, which here means "pretty short." I liked it enough to recommend it and next up I'm going to read another of his short books, so: okay!

Starts of superbly, and then just like that... it abandons any interest in telling a compelling story. Maybe would have been better as a Ballard short story, rather than a full book.
