About book World Of Shell And Bone (2012)

I liked the idea behind the book. Ryan succeeded in building the sense of opression, fear and suspicion in the office environment especially. However, I couldn't help feeling like this was a juvenile fiction piece attempting to portray subject-matter that was just too grown up for the writer's ability. Some of the story elements weren't developed enough, and the world Ryan tried to create just wasn't convincing to me. Reminiscent of Margaret Atwood. Creepy. A little weird. Poses unexpected questions. Interesting characters. Cliffhanger ending. Despite the outrage of the feminists, the author sets up some interesting questions. If women ruled the world, things could be bad...It's a good one, and I definitely want to read the next in the series. You might like it too if you like stories set in the time after the world has been destroyed. I can't spell that "d" word. Dystopian? Distopian? Whatever. That's what this one is. And it is quite well done.
