The Children of Men by P.D. James
3.0

With such an interesting premise this book didn't live up to my expectations. It was good but the first half drug on and then the second half went by too quickly. The ending was so compact. I also felt there were so many strange choices by the lead characters. Yes, its a different world but I felt there was a lot overlooked. I would have liked to learn more about this world. James' prose is delightful but there were times the author elongated unimportant aspects of the book that could have been better served elsewhere. Overall, a good book with uneven pacing.
