So this his book is set in the same nightmarish world as his previous books “The One” and “The Passengers” (both mentioned in The Marriage Act), and is equally, if not more terrifying as those two. The mantra here is, get married, get lower taxes, interest free loans, better housing, driverless cars (as seen in “The Passengers”), better healthcare, better education, etc. The government monitors every aspect of people's lives with the mandatory installation of listening devices all over the married couples homes in order to “offer advice” when a marriage might hit a rocky patch.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!!!

This was really enjoyable, the very definition of page turner. Due to the compete and utter insanity of the first two acts, act three did fall a little flat for me and I was left feeling a little bit disappointed with the ending. That said, I really hope we visit this world again although where we go from here is anybody's guess. Needless to say, it will be completely BONKERS.

PS what our for the psychopath, there's at least one in every John Marrs book.
