My review -
I
wondered what I would be getting with this book, having already read all those
short stories published individually. Three extra stories, yes, but what did
they add to the mix but more of the same? Well, now I know. Strangely these
three, one at the beginning, one somewhere in amongst, and one at the end, set
the other stories in a context. Each story stood alone and gave considerable
food for thought, but when connected, they make a whole which really asks some
questions. It doesn't give all the answers though, and leaves us with the
knowledge that there will be more. I do
find myself thinking that this must read rather differently if you come to it
all here for the first time. For me it
both linked earlier stories and drew out a meaning from them which wasn’t
obvious previously. I would urge people
who think of skipping the stories they’ve already read, not to do so. Read this in its entirety.
David
Wailing has shown us a future which some might find exciting, but he fills in
the gaps and gives us the down-side of a society where it's no longer possible
to be secretive. These stories and their characters connect to make an
excellent whole.
