Most novels provide stories that take their readers away to other places, peopled by sympathetic characters with whom we can identify. Although it also manages to be very misleading, because it concentrates on the plot, rather than the narrative engine of the book which isn’t the storyline. REVIEW: This is another offering with a rather chatty blurb that you’d do well to avoid as it gives away far too much of the story. But when his mother flees to Europe and joins a cult, leaving him penniless, he has to enlist in the army – move that changes his life forever… But for one journalist, hired to do a puff-piece interview with their CEO, it will change the world forever.Īdan just wants to stay at home with his smart-companion Elegy – phone, friend, confidante, sex toy. Allow it to be injected into the roof of your mouth and it will grow into your brain, allow you to connect with others without even picking up your phone. TRUNCATED BLURB: The This is the new social media platform everyone is talking about. Being the shallow sort, first the cover snagged my attention, then when I saw the author I immediately requested it. A book by Adam Roberts is always worth reading – see my reviews of The Real-Town Murders and Yellow Blue Tibia. ![]()
