James added 'Shades of Grey'

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 04:10:49 -0700

James gave 4 stars to Shades of Grey (Shades of Grey, #1) by Jasper Fforde
A book about how tough it is to get a middle-class person to realize just how fucked up their world is, and imagine that anything can be done about it. Has all of the absurd sci-fi/fantasy trappings and rule-of-cool worldbuilding I've come to know and love from Fforde.

Feels very much like the first of a trilogy, like a prolonged Act 1 -- looking forward to acts 2 and 3!
