An intriguing taster for the novel
A whet-the-appetite type of short story that made me download the book. I liked the narrator's voice that drew me into a child's point of living in a future Britain. It made me wonder what would happen next.

Intriguing introduction to a dystopian world
My curiosity is definitely piqued. This short tale is written in an interesting style and performed with flair, painting a partial but thrilling picture of what could very well be a great dystopian story. I'm thinking of trying the novel (The Ship), although I'm not exactly encouraged by the listeners' reviews.
