Erika (17788 KP) rated The Drowned World in Books
Jun 19, 2018
I really liked the Heart of Darkness vibes from this novel. It's probably one of my favorites by Ballard. The descriptions of the now drowned world are so detailed, and the fact that the city-scape is completely alien. It was a fast-paced, quick read and I read it in one sitting (though, to be fair, I'm a speed-reader).

One of the earliest official Star Wars tie-in novels, I remember reading this when it first came out in about '94.
What's interesting is how perception changes: at the time, I remember thinking it was one of the best books I'd read, but now (with time behind me) it's not quite as good as I remember. Still worth a read, though!

Again. I love it.
I watched film in my early years of high school not knowing it was based on a book.
So, now I am going to read the book and I am scared it won't be the same as the film, but will be even better! Fingers crossed ?

I went into this book with high expectations from all the hype and the synopsis sounded awesome. I didn’t love it but I also didn’t hate it. It was a bit slow getting into it and some parts got a little confusing throughout the book but it also had a good chunk of parts that had me not wanting to put the book down just because I wanted to see how certain parts played out. It is not a book I will likely read again but now I have read it.
