Christopher Caldwell’s Reviews > Riddley Walker > Status Update

Absolutely incredibe piece of work, takes a huge amount of concentration and if you are reading it before going to sleep, expect gritty, murky, threatening dreams. Once you are in the speak of the book it flows much more naturally - in the way that Peter Carey's 'True history of the Kelly Gang' does. I have read nothing like this and it really does feel like a complete world with its own mythology and understanding.
