Review: from the vaults of John Christopher
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 21, 2013
My first books in scifi were norton and Asimov. My 3rd was "no blade of grass" by John Christopher; basically "what if" a plant virus killed all grasses (wheat, corn, rice, etc). Then watch society devolve. Eden is such a book but with today's extra penchant for cruelty, a lot more character development, and a better overall plot. It was a truly great read. Why not a 5? Because the author made it a bit of a mystery at first and it confused me on where the book was going. Many readers will like that twist but to me it started out a 3+ and the last 70% was a five. I actually wish Amazon had half stars as this would be one of those I would give it to. So, enjoy the ride, remember to hug your significant other before a trip and get more from this author he's good...shu
