Tom Watson "Metronome" (Blooomsbury)
Initially, it started very well with an interesting poem eyes and also a feeling of something very different. This felt like good suspenseful near future dystopian fiction. However, it loses its way partially around about the midpoint to 2/3 through and I don’t think it really recovers from that stumble. I’m not sure that the ending is particularly satisfying, but then again, it’s also not a cursory warning. I think the characters were well drawn out and I think that their ploys and motives were entirely believable. I do however feel that it lacks something.
