3.5

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.
