5.0 out of 5 stars
A mind-blowing post -apocalypse tale., July 23, 1999
This review is from: Sweet, Sweet Summer (Hardcover)
There are alien spaceships in possession of our planet, but humanity has not improved in the face of a common enemy...
Gaskell has created a horrifying tale of the takeover of the planet, but in the microcosm, on the streets of London.
She puts the reader into the head of possibly the most repellent protagonist I have ever read. The world may be falling apart, but this London street rat will simply continue to feed on the bits and pieces of remaining humanity. Is there any hope that he will develop a human conscience? Become capable of love?
This is a fascinating, repellent work, unfortunately unforgettable.
