Really enjoyed it, will be trying to get hold of more Harrison novels now. Was a nice change to the normal scifi story.


message 20: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Smith I like unconventional sci fi :) Although I have to admit, Light had me pretty confused at times and now I don't remember all that much of it. Will give it a re-read some day.

It wasn't an easy read I will admit, but once you got into the pace of the story it went down well.
