krnlchrissy 's review for:
Shades of Grey
by Jasper Fforde
I really enjoyed this one. I am a fan of dystopian novels and this sounded right up my alley. I read the Eyre Affair a while back and wasn't a big fan, but loved Fforde's work on this one. I feel like a lot of these dystopian novels seem to have some sort of "color" aspect but it was interesting how he tied it in with color perception and as the whole premise of the book is set around this, it seemed a lot more well integrated into the book vs a lot of stories which seem to have a "he's a red, he's a gray" which means something, but is sort of arbitrary. I really just enjoyed the whole thing. I've had this book on my radar for a long time now but only just got around to reading it. Maybe it's a good thing because the sequel still hasn't been published, but maybe will be this year. Hopefully it won't be too long of a wait!
2024 Update: It was a long wait. Re-read to refresh my memory before reading the sequel 8 years later.
