Review: Birnam Wood

I picked this up on a lark. I was between holds at my library and this was on on one of the digital shelves of new well-regarded books. Something in the summary caught my eye, so I grabbed it. It was more than I expected.

Birnam stuck the landing in a way that few books I’ve read have. I thought I’d read one kind of book, and in the last few pages realized I’d read quite another. I admired the second one much more.

For obvious reasons, I don’t want to say more. Have a look at the blurbs and if it sounds remotely interesting to you, check it out.

You may reach the end and feel like it was a straight line. I think it’s probably a good read even if that’s the case. You may be surprised by and be put off. I just don’t know. But I know I think it’s quite a book.

Highly recommended.
