The blurb describes this as a modern classic of science fiction. Ever since it was purchased using prize money from a school award I cannot remember, it has sat, untouched, in my bedroom.

I enjoyed it far more than I'd anticipated. It tickled the right parts of my brain, being both a thriller & incorporating some science. What a joy.

7.8/10

I will be continuing my recent foray into 19th century literature with my very first Tolstoy. Having just read my first Dostoyevksy, I should soon have earnt my stripes as a literary ponce.
