I'm about 20% of the way through The Children of Men. Initial thoughts: - Big information dump for the first 10-15% of the book. On one hand, there's a lot of world building to do, so I appreciate all the details. On the other, it's pretty much exactly how they tell you to not start novels. Too easy to lose the reader if all your doing is explaining the current state of things. By comparison, the movie used the power of visuals to introduce the world in a much shorter amount of time. - What a premise, though. You can tell a ton of thought was put into the impact of global infertility. How the different generations reacted, how state services changed, and the geopolitics of it all.

totally agree with you on the info dump! but that premise is wild, right? can’t wait to hear what you think when you get further in. 📚🔥
