|summary=Dickinson's observational writing is of the highest quality, but there wasn't a story here I ever felt I could get involved in. A well-written but mundane book is still, disappointingly, a mundane book.

My girlfriend looked at the back of Robert Dickinson's ''The Schism'' and decided that it was just the kind of book I would enjoy. Which was a fair comment, as I'd done the same. A book that promised a man's world ''thrown dramatically out of kilter'', that was ''sharp, compassionate and darkly comic'' and which ''shows what happens when the lives of those you care about are suddenly, terrifyingly, at risk'' would be exactly the kind of thing I would enjoy. If only what was in front of the back cover had been anything like that, this would have been a great book.
