The Poison Belt

3 - 3.5 ⭐️

This was a rather interesting read. It was nice to see the old characters and consider the philosophical musing of the author.
However, I must admit that the premise on which this whole book was built was quite shaky and while the situation was interesting, I ultimately couldn't take it seriously.
I did like how the author ended the story, though. Ambiguity is everything when it comes to stories like this and I loved how he maintained it, without leaving anything unresolved.

Another hard one to rate. It was an interesting little thought experiment, but... eh... shockingly little concern shown to the consequences.
Like the train accident. Hey ho, who cares, they were all already dead. Oops, they weren't! What ho. Bah humbug. Think about waking up in the middle of the train accident, maybe injured, and...
Or the little detail of “who's going to do all the work that is needed for these people to survive?” Apparently bread and ink just magically appeared in their houses.
Nah. This book shouldn't even exist.
