Every once in a while, I come across a book from that little talked about subset - books "published after the author's death". If it's an author I particularly like (as in this case), my initial reaction is to be thrilled that there's one more book for me to read. Unfortunately, it seems that there's usually a reason the book wasn't published earlier. That, I think, is the case with this story. It's not that I didn't like it...it's a good story...it's just that the writing isn't up to what I've come to expect from Wyndham. It took me about 50 or 60 pages to really get into it and I'd probably have given up if it wasn't such a short book (only 141 pages). I kept getting the feeling that he wasn't finished with the story yet...but I guess we'll never know...

I'll be taking this book with me to our monthly get together at the Park Theatre. If no one takes it home, it will stay on the shelf patiently awaiting a new reader.

This book is currently sitting on the Winnipeg Official Bookcrossing Zone bookshelf in the loft of The Park Theatre & Movie Café, 698 Osborne Street, Winnipeg MB.

It is waiting there for a new reader to take home, read, and release back into the wild!

Winnipeg bookcrossers meet at my location on the second Wednesday of every month at 7pm to chat about books, swap great reads, and release on the OBCZ shelves. Please join us! We love to see new faces! You will enjoy the comfy atmosphere, the fabulous coffees and teas, and the yummy treats!

This book has left the OBCZ shelf. Let's hope it will let us know where it is and what it's been up to.
