It was well written but annoying. I guess that makes it closer to Salman Rushdie than whoever wrote Twilight... I really enjoyed the style of the book and the writing, got caught up very quickly and could not put it down .... at first.
Loads of cliches about the end of the world and eco-disasters, evil dictators whose logic defies logic, and whose capacity for stupidity is parallel to their capacity for spitefulness.
The language-reduction-premise sounded good, but by the time they start explaining it it fell apart rapidly.
Also not sure of this book's message or politics here? The world is heading to an ecological disaster, but the people trying to stop/save the world are evil pricks? So they're right but also inhumane and insane?
Also, Flood, Ark and a protagonist called John Noa? Get a sledgehammer, it would be more subtle.
Ok that last bit was a bit bitchy, but I also just watched the end of the Maze Runner series and it does the whole 'evil-leader-end of the world-stupidity-torture-porn' the same way.
