Her style is so unique and distinctive. Sentences are left unfinished, sometimes words and phrases just pile up on themselves and yet it always makes perfect sense. Did I mention that she is one of my favourite authors? In my eyes she can do no wrong but I can understand why some people find her hard to read.[book:84K|35511975] is set in a dystopian near future in England. The country is in a sorry state since the Company joined forces with the Government and took over everything. Life now depends on having money, lots of it, or dare we say it is not worth living. Our main character, Theo, while not being a particularly brave man, stands up against the status quo and attempts to 'break the world'.This is a very dark book, much more so than any of the author's previous works. There is death and degradation by the bucket load but there are also occasional hints of human warmth and kindness. The story is not linear and jumps around times, places and people until my head swam. I am glad I was reading it - audio would be very hard to follow.The ending is hard to take, but real although there were highlights. I closed the book with a smile and thought to myself I am so very glad I am a reader. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable dystopian adventure - No Spoilers below *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019* A dystopian future set in the UK. Government and “the Company” have become essentially one and the same, and all government functions are now run with the stoic efficiency required to meet the profit margin. Everything is contracted, and everything has a dollar value – including human life / dignity. In a world where the power and immunity of wealth is hyper-exaggerated, our protagonist finds himself – by accident – at the genesis of and later – by design (and luck) – at the moment of comeuppance to our antagonists. Like 1984, the system remains broken; unlike 1984 there is at least hope for our protagonist to live the life he desires.The story was compelling. I thought the world building was well done, and the characters both enjoyable and believable. The author frequently uses unfinished thoughts to highlight the uncertainty or nebulousness, etc. of a moment. It is done well – but just like when my wife starts a sentence and then just stops talking in the middle… it’s a bit annoying. The author also uses physical line breaks (like in poetry) to convey some sense of the moment to the reader. This did NOT have the impact on me that I know they were hoping for – it just made that paragraph slower and more annoying to read. Liked everything else ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars thoroughly depressing read *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018* I'm a Claire North fan but this was too depressing by far.Taking the government services procurement model in the private sector to its extreme and throwing in a whole cohort of humanity who have lost their social contract just makes for one of the most depressing stories I have read for a long time.Sorry Ms North but really there were no light at the end of this arduous tunnel. Avoid unless you are into this sort of thing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/64143699-84k-paperback-may-22-2018](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/64143699-84k-paperback-may-22-2018) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
