amiewhittemore 's review for:
The Children of Men
by P.D. James
I remember liking the film adaptation of this when it came out--20 years ago? Is that right? A long time. Anyway, the movie is much more action-oriented than the novel, which is rather quiet and slow moving until the last third or so. I did enjoy it and was quite caught up in the denouement, but overall found it a bit overwritten. I wouldn't teach it in a science fiction/spec lit class. It's just. As my students would say, so wordy. Still, a decent read, overall.
