Book Reviews of Atmospheric Disturbances: A Novel
Book Review: Real? Real? Real!
Summary: 5 Stars
This starts on a brilliant note of intrigue that explores the nature of reality and continues in great style : after all, when only the protagnist realises his wife has been replaced by an identical clone, who is to say that he is wrong? After all, everyone else in the world could be a clone..or a copy.. or an alien imposter.. After this wonderful P K Dickian premise, the rest of the work races garcefully through the minutae of paranoia that makes it utterly believable and therfeore frighteningly compelling as the mystery and the reality unravel to something both utterly mundane and rather plausable. Everythingc ould be true, and yet nothing : reality dances on a knife edge, where perhaps the man you think is crazy is in fact the only sane person on the face of the planet.
