"Liz Jensen's second novel is massively ambitious, a comic dystopic satire partly set in twenty-first-century Britain....Liz Jensen at her best can write very well....The trouble is that the comedy is not sustained throughout the book and the tightness and abrasiveness are too intermittent. A constant problem is that the massive historical and evolutionary framework receives sketchy, embarrassingly lightweight treatment at times....Despite this, I found plenty of talent struggling to cope with a form and a structure well beyond the author's present capacities."Jensen, Liz is the author of 'Ark Baby' with ISBN 9780879518332 and ISBN 0879518332.
