Probably not a good sign that Miss Bates' ramblings were among the more enjoyable parts for me
I found the beginning chapters very insightful and impactful but not so much the later ones. Still one that I will definitely read again.
This would be an interesting literary read. I find I have lots of questions about world events or prevalent ideas that inspired the author.
For the story itself, it's clear there are lots of ideas being presented, but it all feels more tell than show.
This is such a nostalgic book for me. The first time I read it was my dad's beaten-up paper-back and then later I found the audiobook as read by Chris Barrie. I love both versions.
For audiobook folks: Chris' impressions of his co-stars are so spot on! Even if you're not usually an audiobook fan, I do recommend you give this one a try.
