Book Reviews of Half a Crown
Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Half a Crown does not disappoint, and Walton brings her superb trilogy of fascist Britain to its inevitable conclusion. Unlike some reviewers, I do not think the ending was too optimistic or unexpected. Recent history has shown that there are cycles to the behavior of governments and individuals, and whether one is lucky enough to be around in one of the "good" cycles, or unfortunate enough to be living in one of the "bad," what goes around, comes around, and everything ends, even tyranny. Though it appears the new regime will be more liberal and enlightened, and certainly the previous crowd were mad as hatters, I do not think it certain that Walton is telling readers that now everything will be ok. A new group is taking over, they look and smell better, but it's really only a question of their time having arrived, who knows how it will all end up. After all, we all get the governments and the leaders we deserve.
