It starts with Tasmin being held captive and prepared to be sold. Due to this some of the story is told through letters that she writes, these are used to fill in the backstory of how she came to be at this point. As well as helping to keep the storyline fast paced.
Once Elder Prest is introduced we get a split perspective, I enjoy split perspective as I like to know what both characters are thinking. However both characters still like to keep secrets so even at the end of a book much of Elder is a mystery.
This is the first book in the series so it definitely finishes with a lot of unanswered questions. I really enjoyed this book, so I have purchased the second one as I was that curious about what would happen next that I couldn’t leave it unfinished.
The full series is available, so if that normally puts you off don’t let it. Although the book has some very dark themes there are not very graphic scenes, most of it is mentioned afterwards and not described.

They then, later (and after penning 'Red Dwarf Omnibus: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers & Better Than Life') split, going their separate ways.
Following this split, Doug Naylor wrote 'Last Human'] (1995, I think), while Rob wrote 'Backwards' (1996).
What do all those have in common?
They're all more-or-less set in the 'current' timeline of Red Dwarf, with Dave Lister the last Human alive, thousands of years in the future and accompanied only by The Cat, a Hologram of his dead bunk-mate Rimmer, and the mechanoid Kryten. (and the ship computer Holly, and - in later series's of the TV show, Lister's ex-crush Kristine Kochanski instead of Rimmer).
This, to the best of my knowledge, is the first story to be set as a prequel, and "one universe to the side".
It also provides an alternative reason for the nuclear melt-down that saw Red Dwarf launched deep into space, with Lister in suspended animation at the time, than has been given before.
I'm also not sure I would describe this as "hilarious": enjoyable enough, yes, but not as funny as some of the earlier works.

It lacked the massive twist expected from M Night but it was better this way and I was pleased to discover the sequel coming out this year.

A strong performance for Bruce Willis. James McAvoy revolutionized him self as an actor for this role (between the two movies he starred in) and Samuel L. Jackson was his usual awesome. Vera Famiga was great in her role as well.
Story culminated with a definitive conclusion (not always a given with Shyamalan) that actually had an unsettling nature to it. I highly recommend watching all three movies if you are going to watch Glass.
