Universality, for me, felt like a book written in three parts. The first is written as a longform article on an attack which took place during a national lockdown involving a bar of gold. the second the third parts then take characters from the story and expand on them.
I really enjoyed the opening article/story, it was captivating and fast moving. I found I wanted to keep coming back to it. Where I did find the book a let down was the rest which veered away from this plot and felt like it was really missing a plot. For me it just felt a bit directionless. Although I liked the style of writing I would have liked more of the story.
Overall not a book I'd recommend but on which does have some engaging and entertaining elements.
