The Wall by John LanchesterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The conclusion felt a little flat but an interesting dystopian thriller up to that point, would probably work better as a film than in novel form - some superb set pieces, give it to Cuarón as a sort of semi-sequel to Children of Men. Would have liked more perspectives and information on how life now operates away from the Wall in post climate-catastrophe Britain but maybe beyond the scope of a relatively short book.
Edit: Highly recommend the audiobook, exceptionally well acted by Will Poulter.
