The Children of Men by P.D. James

4.0

---

The Children of Men is definitely more of a slow paced book and it took me a while to finish it but it was so worth it and I actually enjoyed reading a more slow-going dystopian. The world James has created in this book is definitely plausible which only makes for the story being that much more interesting and in ways terrifying. I found some of the characters unlikable ( especially Julian whom I did find rather selfish and annoying) but this didn’t necessarily take away from the story for me. I found so many amazing quotes in this book and the writing was overall just amazing. I have not seen the movie and have heard it is quite different but am super excited to watch it.
