Cold People
by Tom Rob Smith
Reading this when the wind is blowing and it’s raining outside seems prescient. However, this novel didn’t leave me with a warm feeling! Enough of the bad jokes, this just wasn’t for me. The novel follows a collection of characters as a climatic event forces them to move to the South Pole. I enjoyed the opening struggle to get there before disaster strikes, however, the reason for having to go in the first instance left me cold. I promise no more puns. Jump to the future and we’re following the remains of humanity as they’ve learnt to survive in this inhospitable terrain. The more I reflect, the more I realise I did not enjoy this novel - it was easy to read but characters were thin and the plot, to me, just did not hold my attention. This is not anything like Tom Rob Smiths other novels so I’d recommend this novel if you like post-apocalypse with a dystopian feel then go for it.
