Just started reading this. Thought provoking and topical.
Anybody else read it?

I don't think the writing is that great tbh, but enjoying the story.

I am currently re-reading The Women's room by Marylin French. Realising how little has changed . Still one of the best novels I have ever read. Every time I read it I see more in it.

(I have always got around 3 - 5 books on the go at the same time).

I’m about halfway through this. I am enjoying it but find some aspects of it very sinister. It makes me angry and hopeful at the same time, if that makes sense!

I agree about the ending! Rushed and got rather away from the points of the rest of it (IMO anyway). Also I found there were some frustrating gaps in terms of explaining some of the background, why those specific decisions had been made/how they were "sold" to people etc. But overall I did enjoy it and found it thought-provoking.

I enjoyed it but the ending felt very rushed.

DH bought it for me.
Amazingly he must have actually been listening to some of my recent rants.
I am getting stuck into it. It is chilling though.
I won't say any more. No spoilers.

Bloody awful

I really enjoyed it, but the ending felt a bit rushed. Creepy thought though.
