The Great Glass Sea

Well written but was a tedious read and didn't seem to have any point or purpose. That Russian attitude is spot on though.

The Great Glass Sea is a beautiful book. The language is lyrical, the concept (near future orbiting mirrors create endless daylight for an enormous greenhouse in Russia) is clever, and the story about the relationship of twin brothers is intensely moving. I find that I'm drawn to stories about sibling conflicts (that's what I liked most about Elizabeth Strout's The Burgess Boys), and that's really at the heart of Josh's book. So, on all those levels, this is a deeply rewarding read.
