A review by charlote_1347
High-Rise by J.G. Ballard

4.0

This is the first of J. G. Ballard's books that I've read, and I really enjoyed it. Wilder, Royal and Laing were intriguing characters, each with disturbing eccentricities. The dynamic between Wilder and Royal was likewise fascinating, although it was also anti-climactic. The conclusion of the novel, however, was balanced by the ambiguous fates of its characters and the repetition it promises in the high rise's neighbour.
