stefo 's review for:

Running Wild by J.G. Ballard
3.5
dark mysterious reflective sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is my first Ballard book and I got just what I expected, a dark, crime-ridden mystery (although the plot quickly stopped being a mystery to me) as a metaphor for societal anxieties. Quite decent, but not too memorable and at times a bit too exaggerated. I'll be checking his other books out for sure.
