Negative Positive
Title: Highly suggested reading
Review: "It Can't Happen Here" begins slowly, introducing the narrative's characters and setting in a very meticulous fashion. It will seem ponderous in pace to more casual readers, with little besides political foreshadowing to hold interest. However, with the ascension of the villain around page 100 begins the "meat" of the work: quickly the narrative transforms into a visceral, terrifying experience. The reader's patience is rewarded with a story that engages you on an emotional level beyond most novels today.As far as dystopia-themed works go, this ranks number one on my list. The characters, environment, and interactions are believable. Man isn't utterly defeated and hope isn't totally extinguished, but the notions of "liberty" and "progress" have been taken down a few notches. In such a world, the characters do their best (or worst).If your attention holds beyond the introduction, you will not be disappointed.
