4.0 out of 5 stars
The most original title!,
By
This review is from: The Glass-Sided Ant's Nest (Paperback)
And the book is an original too. This is the first of Peter Dickinson's books, and it should be read for that at least. This is probably the most unusual book that I've ever read. Picture a tribe of New Guinea aborigines transplanted intact into a London house. The chief is found murdered and that puts Chief Superintendent Pibble on the hunt in this rabbit's warren of a building, for a murderer. What he discovers as he searches is bizarre - a bowl of blood, a world where the women live in the Women's hut and the men live in the Men's hut, and strange smells to name a few. I certainly cannot do justice in this review to this highly original story, so you must read it for yourself, and be prepared to mesmerized and baffled until the dark and terrible end.
