So this is why I have awarded three and a half stars... I'm annoyed that I don't have a complete picture; I have a very definite sense of having done a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle of the ''Mona Lisa'', only to find that there are 10 pieces missing and they complete her smile.
To conclude my review on a more positive note, I felt ''The Well'' was enthusiastically written, like so many debut novels. I loved the expanse of adjectives and the warmth the writer engendered in the reader for The Well and it's surrounding loveliness, even though it occasionally felt a like as though she was trying a little bit too hard. A very big thank you to the kind ladies and gents at Canongate for entrusting this copy to us for review.
Aside from my own feelings about this book , you may very well enjoy it, particularly if you like your dystopian tonic to have a twist of crime (did you see what I did there?). If ''The Well'' appeals you may also wish to take a look at [[I Am Legend by Richard Matheson]], which we loved and considered entirely superior to the film of the same title, or perhaps a foray into the pages of [[The Digital Plague by Jeff Somers]] which will really make your heart race. {{amazontext|amazon=1782114661}}
