Title: Somewhat disappointing
Product review: Coming to this book after the previous four novels of the "Children of Violence" (Martha Quest) series, I was quite surprised and disappointed. Whereas the previous books were delightful in their subtlety, this one seemed more of a polemic...more like sledgehammer work. Lessing seems to have regained her form later in Briefing For Descent Into Hell and the science fiction, but I couldn't really recommend this one. I'm very surprised that it seems to be one of her most popular books.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
