I'm reading about anarchism so I thought the anarcho-feminist Inge's Semtex toilet attack was hilarious. The narrator doesn't ring true, I don't feel angst or suffering in our narrator, just queer melodrama.

There are no straight people in this flooded city!

Struggling to distinguish between the very unlikeable sistrs

Well written but quite depressing, having a break ..

Really good so far

At last I now know what existentialism is!!!

The sex scenes are spicy but now becoming monotonous, more is not sexier. There is no plot or character development.

Unremittingly queer, this is really disguised autobiography. Me me me

Starting grind at bit now.
Wish the narrator wasn't such a dish rag.

Sadly this really needed an proper edit, it's baggy, once you're told the twist it's quite boring, oh well 👋

Really gripping read
Really the myths about Haig out of the water.

A really gripping retelling of the retreat from Mons
, sometimes it feels like you're actually there.

Really hating this book. It's like a bad problem solving computer game, or a primacy school science lesson. The writing style is that of parable.

Finished the first book but couldn't whip. Up enough enthusiasm to read anymore, while interesting in parts it is incredibly slow and flabby in others.

Enjoying this, good old fashioned procedural under the Sci fi shell

I can read this a piece at a time. The slaughter is unremitting, there is a an almost cinematic feeling to the writing. Men appear through the mud and smoke, their lives are briefly described then they are gone; shot, bayonetted or brutalised in some way by the machine of slaughter.

Nice idea to begin with, but the narrative is starting to disintegrate.

Starting to unravel a little, first half was very good

This one's a bit niche, but for coin fans like me, it's like steak dinner, a real pleasure to eat but it takes a while to digest

Really enjoying this, reads like a thriller.

Very difficult to read on a kindle, it is a hybrid novel/graphic novel, with loads of illustrations and different fonts for each of the main protagonists.

Holiday reading, I haven't read any of kernick's stuff before.

Liked the author's style when I started this book but her chattiness is now wearing thin. Just want her to get on with it. This is not the book to read for any definitive answers

Hard going, not much characterisation, Rutherford, the on site artist is the most realised. He has a fetish for the surfaces of modern living.

Rutherford - autistic, concrete fetishism?
Reads like an JG Ballard
Difficult to read on tablet. Like the cad drawings which interspersed through the book.

Good so far, I've stopped reading for the moment as I have become engrossed in Istanbul:a tale of three cities
