This book would be my definition of a "heavy read".
Not many people use this term, I believe, but for me, it means a book which requires your full attention when reading. It's the complete opposite of light reading. This is not the type of book you read at the beach or by the pool, when you want to unwind and relax.
Also, I think this is the first thriller book I've read.
Or maybe one of the first, I can't quite remember.
Perhaps it's because I'm not accustomed to this type of genre, or because my subconscious dystopian-loving book mind refuses to accept it, but I couldn't really get into this book. I guess it's just not my type (but really, the only books I love are of the dystopia genre).
I found myself skipping through a lot of these pages (most of the ones I skipped were during Harry Jones scenes, I noticed) instead of reading them thoroughly like I should have, so I missed some important parts and was confused later on but ah, I just wanted to get this book over with.
I didn't really like the plot. Politics aren't really my thing. And I found the ending kind of rushed and it just felt kind of incomplete.
Needless to say, I really didn't like it and I most definitely will not be reading any more of Dobbs' books (or any thriller books, for that matter). Or maybe I will, I don't know. We'll see. But for now, I'm gonna stick to good ol' dystopia.
