CHILDREN OF MEN, THE (MTI) (Vintage)

by James/P.d.

Told with P. D. James's trademark suspense, insightful characterization, and riveting storytelling, The Children of Men is a story of a world with no children and no future.

I read this book years ago and did not enjoy it at all! I kept thinking it would get better, but just not my type of book apparently.

    Oh bother, now it appears there's book-comment spam. And here I was thinking that there might be a good conversation about this book taking place. Nice review by fmeekins, though.

    For a number of years, a friend of mine has been encouraging me to dip a toe into Sci-Fi and fantasy. I always resisted, for no good reason, other than loving my mysteries. I guess I thought Sci-Fi was the natural place for young boys, and I'm neither. However, I've finally tried it and am enjoying the experience. I wonder how many readers react like me to the label. And I have to be honest, I picked up and read "Children of Men" because I'd read and liked a lot of P. D. James.

    And as for Margaret Atwood, some of her later works clearly have Sci-fi components. The Blind Assasin has a science fiction story woven within the main story, and I've heard that Oryx and Crake is of that flavor.
