Keith Bradnam reviewed They: a sequence of unease by Kay Dick
My review of ‘They’
3 stars
It is an unusual book to read. There is very little exposition to explain the background as to what events have transpired. so your opinion of the world that the book is set in is based on very little material.
The chapters felt disconnected…they are more like snapshots into the life of the protagonist and you are left wondering how much time has passed between each chapter.
The language is beautiful and the book does an amazing job of conjuring up dark forboding images just by the references to ‘they’, ‘them’ ‘they’re’ etc.
I liked it but was washing for more from the ending.
