This review is from: The Carhullan Army (Hardcover)

I've never read a book quite like this before. The story line -- about a dystopia brought about by terrorism, war and environmental collapse -- is entirely believable. Author Sarah Hall paints an incredible world: a collapsed civilization where the population barely suvives under oppression up against a rural, agrarian society dominated by women.

The writing is superb. It is a book that cannot be put down until the last words are read. I think about parts of that book almost every day.

Hall is up there will George Orwell and his 1984.
