Reviews / Votes
It is packed with ideas and unexpected turnings. Dickinson, formerly known as a writer for children, has produced a gripping, thought provoking thriller in his first science fiction novel for adults, one that works on the human and the cosmic scale alike -- Lisa Tuttle * The Times * This is absolutely top notch, classy stuff . . . It's beautifully written, with a sparse and elegant style that suits both the isolation of the environment and the isolation of its central character . . . It's an immensely rewarding book: demanding but beautiful - and as suitable for adults as it is for older teenagers . . . I can't recommend it highly enough -- Jill Murphy * thebookbag.co.uk * This is cracking stuff. Beautifully written in crystal clear prose, you can practically put your finger in the spaces Dickinson has left to let the narrative breathe . . . Thought-provoking, stylish and immensely enjoyable WE would make a fine addition to anyone's library but for a science fiction fan it is a must buy * sci-fi-london.com * Essentially a convincing psychological thriller, this book also raises thought-provoking questions about our reliance on the internet and social networking, and about where it will eventually lead us . . . WE is a challenging and satisfying read -- Kunak McGann * Inis * Thought-provoking, cleverly written, intense and chilling * Rosie Scribble *More details
