Review:
"The Glimpse" by Claire Merle was some chilling read. It took me a minute or two to get into this novel but once in and by the ending I was hooked...it was a captivated well written novel. "The Glimpse" was full twist and turns that the reader was simply left astonished. This author will leave you surprised with this very enthralling and well thought out provoking novel of a London dystopian society. You will be given scares of not being normal, some thrill of romance and even some glimpse into the near future and the setting was from the UK.
I found the characters were all interesting, brilliant and even some were predictable........ Ana(Ariana) ...a real smart- strong- good person ...Jasper was to marry Ana...however, what was he involved in? I will not say ... and Cole ....one of the Crazies, handsome... Tamsin, Lila and Ana's Dad .....now you must read it for yourself to see how this all comes together. You may be surprised!
There is a lots to understand about this novel...sometimes I was a little lost at the detail and dialog and some what complicated ... but if you can stick with the read you will get a good read of a society that focuses on mental health. I must say that I was surprised how this author managed to bring on many surprises in this well written novel.
If you are in for a chilling, controversial, inventive, intriguing, dystopian, romance and mysterious all caught up together in a read then The Glimpse" is for you. For you have come to the right place and I would recommend this captivating read.
