A review by jason_pym
A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks

2.0

As a satire it's not sharp enough, as a straight novel it's too bland. There's nothing new or insightful, some of the scenes (the Islamists choosing English-sounding names, the Parallax computer game, etc) were embarrassingly bad. I'd just skip it if I were you. The only other Faulks' I've read is Birdsong, and I thought that was great, I really enjoyed it. I don't know what happened here.
