Still, there is something stopping me giving the book a higher rating. It is a book you admire, rather than fall in love with. The characters are very well drawn, twice, but they didn't make me wish them into my life any further than reading the book once. The book went past very easily for its size, vocabulary and complexity, and I'm happy to be in this world where I spent twelve hours or whatever in its company than the one where I didn't, but it missed a vital spark perhaps.
I would still recommend The Post-Birthday World to people (unless put off by a fair bit of sexual content) interested in the latest hit Lionel Shriver, and/or a distinctive modern look at life and love. My thanks to the publishers for giving the bookbag a copy to review. We also have a review of [[The New Republic by Lionel Shriver]].
