Title: Borders on masterful
Review: In The Children of Men, P. D. James' prose is ordinary at it's best. His undistinguishable style would be palatable if that was as bad as it got. Unfortunatley for the riveting plotline, the words that carry it often resemble a sloppy mire. Unfortunately too, poor editing in the edition I read detracted from the clever plot. In short the experience of reading P. D. James' The Children of Men was similar to reading a high schoolers first draft of a novella. Great plot, dingy delivery.
