bluestarfish 's review for:
The Children of Men
by P.D. James
The world is facing the death of all humans due to unexplained infertility across the whole human race. England seems to be going towards this doom in a genteel manner (give or take a dictator and some savage Omegas) and mostly quietly resigned to the fate.
Moments of this book are stupendous in the ideas and implications that P.D. James lays out for us, the details like the kitten baptism... And yet for parts of this I felt the really disconnected from the action. This would be such a different book if it was written now and taking into account the scientific knowledge and practice we now have. I wonder whether this didn't rather spoil the book for me.
