Cocaine Nights by J.G. Ballard

1.0

This is the first book by J.G. Ballard I have read, and probably the last. I was suprised by the dire quality of the writing from such a respected author, it's cliched and full of some of the clumsiest similes I have ever read. The characters are one dimensional and unbelievable and the dystopian 'leisure-world' depicted and indeed the whole premise of the novel are a stretch. Its been a long while since I've read a book I've found as fundamentally disagreeable as this one.
