theredhead15 's review for:
The Children of Men
by P.D. James
There are so many passages in this book that are brilliantly insightful about the world. This is science fiction written as literary fiction. It's fairly short, with what seems to be a rushed final act, so I felt it left a little on the table when I finished. Still, I was engrossed and finished the vast majority of it in one sitting.
It very loosely resembles the events in the movie of the same name (also a brilliantly-made, serious take on an oft-maligned genre) so do not go into it with high hopes of seeing the same story play out on the page (or vice versa). Still, this book has plenty to offer on its own.
