Review: Shades of Grey

Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very strange book that I liked quite a lot. Like Ffordes other stuff, it involves day-to-day life in a world turned on its end. Unlike his other work, he's built the world from whole cloth this time (or at least I think he has; if it's a reference to something, I missed it.) Without any referent, it becomes a bit of a puzzle to read, as you have to work out a lot of the details of their society as you go along. But it's quite an enjoyable puzzle, and worth the effort.
