The writing's not bad in this novella, if yer not looking for a plot any more complicated than girl meets girl and they start bonking like kangaroos. This, incidentally, is why I won't buy book two in the so-called High Rise 'series'. I like a bit of intentionality in trajectory. Also, the word 'series' is a euphemism for a cunning stunt that involves charging a seemingly small amount for the first few chapters (book 1), then another relatively small amount for the next few chapters etc (presumably ad infinitum) (and certainly ad nauseum, for me). Bit of a shame really, because the characters are tantalisingly interesting. But, in order to cut my nose off, I refuse to participate in the fiscal dodge.
