Wow. I was completely unprepared for this one. I had only read Briggs children's books (I love The Snowman, both in book and movie form) and didn't realize this was an adult book. I ordered it from the library, curious about Brigg's other books; there was no cover image on the library catalog when I ordered it. ( )

Yikes! This is very dark, despite its delightful illustration. A clear picture of how we are waltzing ignorantly toward doom. Raymond Briggs is a wonderful artist. I love looking at his illustrations. I was a little startled by this book. I should have looked more closely at the cover, which says it all! ( )

Haven’t even read it yet, but from the summary, it’s a much needed view of a grim future I hope not to live long enough to see… ( )

Fairly macabre, but an interesting read... ( )
