A man wrecks down an embankment and onto a highway traffic island with no rescue in sight. This is his story of survival, which takes on some unexpected twists. And some of the plot points are only really likely in its setting when it was written in the 1970s.
Enjoyable, but wow is this guy despicable. By the end, you barely feel sorry for him anymore.

I read too many great books in a row so I picked up this unread Ballard book from my shelf, knowing it would irritate me. I couldn't help but keep comparing it to Crash and High Rise. Concrete Island isn't as good as the former, it isn't as fucking terrible as the latter, and it isn't as memorable as either.
