Negative Positive
Title: A modern classic.
Review: An exciting read. The Tesseract had more likable, interesting characters than any novel I have recently read. The tale, despite a complex structure, was in the end relatively simple using the most basic human themes. Surpisingly (given the write-up on the Jacket) I found the story and the plights of its characters touching. The author demonstrated a remarkable sensitivity creating and getting into the minds of a diverse spectrum of people. At the same time the story unfolds at a blistering pace with constant changes of perspective. It was really interesting, the kind of story one thinks about for weeks after reading. Garland has been added to the list of authors whose books I'll rush out to buy in hardback the first day they are printed.
