 ****

2024 BOOKER PRIZE WINNER

A novella really, but it took so long to read!  It is like reading non-fiction, where every idea, every sentence, every character is nuanced and needs consideration.

An unusual, surprising and interesting read.

Goodreads : "A book of wonder, Orbital is nature writing from space and an unexpected and profound love letter to life on Earth"

Isolation Island ~ Louise Minchin

 

Down Cemetery Road ~ Mick Herron

OK

This was the first in the series.  Man! it would have to get better!!

So freakin cliched, So boring, So not Slow Horses!!!

This review on Goodreads says it well :

I guess when you chose to read a schlocky novel that has something to do with cartoonish assassins, British military spies, hard-bitten lady detectives, and a dim-witted heroine, you deserve what you get
