An interesting and well written book, with terrific ideas, that turns on it's head, all our comfortable preconceptions of gender stereotypes, and then completely kicks them to bits.

OK, that's the basics; did I enjoy it - I'm not sure, and I'm not sure why. I don't want to go into detail about the story as I don't do spoilers. Perhaps the book was a bit too deliberately trying to make us think, about the horrors of our current society by invoking a total inversion of our attitudes to everything.

Is it worth a read? Oh yes!
