Review title: Life is too short to read this book
Product review: Mason's writing style is painfully long-winded and obsessed with high literary droning and English upper class soap opera which supposedly makes their inner navel-gazing more important or intellectual. It's the kind of book where none of the characters would ever watch tv if they could help it - the book is supposedly set in the future but is unapologetically Edwardian and irritatingly pretentious, especially the vain attempt at assuming the voice of aged authority. By the way, some of the 5-star reviews seem slightly suspicious, dontcha dink? Tireless self-pubicity?
