I’m not really sure what this book was all about. I had the sense that it was trying to put something across in addition to the story itself. Was it a bash against wealth, race or arrogance maybe? Was it a portent of the world to come? A timely warning? As a non-rich person I was left confused. If I was rich I’d get my kids through some extensive elite paramilitary training but then they’d probably assassinate me for the inheritance. I don’t know, I’m lost here.

As a story it was OK but not more than that, for me anyway. ( )
