"Phase 4" by David Dennis is an inspired science fiction story with a clever premise.On one level the story reads like a kafka-esque reality-crisis of the main character trying to figure out what has happened to him. On another level the book is written in a somewhat confusing narrative between the four phases of the title.It is skilfully written, cleverly constructed and has an excellent denouement.The main character is not very likeable at first but somehow you begin to warm to him as his overly confident ego begins to break down a little. The writing style is inspired but may divide audiences.This is certainly like few other books I have read, highly original and fresh.
