casspro 's review for:
The Children of Men
by P.D. James
I've had a much better experience with Children of Men than other P.D. James novels. My first attempt was Death of an Expert Witness and it was a meandering experience for me. Couldn't focus and my interest was never established. I've had a much better time with COM. The details were a little superfluous in the beginning, but mellowed out through the first half of the novel. The dying world and collapse of society is normally a philosophical debate I stray away from, but the accepted sadness and "rage against the dying of the light" are interesting dichotomies. Not your typical dystopia/apocalyptic collapse novel, but one that should be placed in the repertoire.
