A review by binstonbirchill
Babylon by Victor Pelevin

2.0

Advertising, pop culture, hallucinogenic drugs, and satire about the modern world. If that sounds good to you then you might enjoy the book. However, if the first three are rather unappealing and you feel satire is very difficult to do well then you may feel like I do about this book. I found a few of the ads pretty funny but honestly there’s not a lot that appealed to me about the book. I felt like the ideas where there and I agree with some of the things pointed about as absurd about society but something about the book just failed to connect. I read it in English so that might not have helped.
