I wasn't really interested in any of the nominations for August as I'm really not a sci-fi fan. I was considering not participating this month. However, I challenged myself to join in and was pleasantly surprised. I was hooked by Doomsday Book after a few pages and enjoyed the whole story. I was slightly put off by the fact that the 'current' time was sooooo 1950s, however, I got over that and it didn't detract from the story for me. I never thought that a sci- fi book would make me cry but it did!
I now have a few more of Willis' books and will get round to reading them one day!
