The Children of Men by P.D. James
I bought this book for
thewrongtim for Christmas last year, since he put both it and the movie on his list. Tim told me that he liked the book, though it wasn't as good as the movie. So, I guess it's good we saw the movie first, so I didn't have that whole "did-the-movie-live-up-to-the-book" thing...
