I think this is beautifully written. I read it straight through and when I came to the end, I read it again. I don't normally like sci-fi/futuristic work, but this, I thought, was a harrowing and a special book.
"..... like the onset of some cold glaucoma dimming away the world...." "..... the blackness he woke to on those nights was sightless and inpenetrable. A blackness to hurt your ears with listening to.... he rose and stood tottering in that cold, autistic dark......" The author does away with all normal punctuation because everything 'normal' in the man and boy's world has been obliterated too. One of the best books I've ever read: I've recommended it to many people. |

This book is hopeful in a dreadful world. I didn't like the lack of puncuation though.
