IN THIS WORLD, PERFECTION IS EVERYTHING

‘Terrifyingly plausible’ Louise Candlish
‘Devastating and brilliant’ Woman & Home
‘Thought-provoking’ Alice Feeney
‘Shocking . . . A powerful tale’ Cosmopolitan
‘Timely’ Kia Abdullah

Elena Fairchild is a teacher at one of the state’s new elite schools. Her daughters are exactly like her: beautiful, ambitious, and perfect. A good thing, since the recent mandate that’s swept the country is all about perfection.

Now everyone must undergo routine tests for their quotient, Q, and any children who don’t measure up are placed into new government schools. Instead, teachers can focus on the gifted.

Elena tells herself it’s not about eugenics, not really, but when one of her daughters scores lower than expected and is taken away, she intentionally fails her own test to go with her.

But what Elena discovers is far more terrifying than she ever imagined…

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Like all the best dystopian fiction, Q takes the reader just a pace or two beyond where we're already at. This is a sharply written and terrifyingly plausible tale of an education system where less than perfect is a life-threatening condition.... I devoured it in a single day." (Louise Candlish)

"Shocking and a powerful tale exploring themes of survival and superficiality." (Cosmopolitan)

"Christina Dalcher is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. It's a master class in dark dystopian fiction, clever, thought-provoking, beautifully written and terrifyingly believable." (Alice Feeney)

Not quite as good as “Vox” which set the bar very high but good none the less.

And without being dramatic or paranoid, it seems scarily possible in the current climate and with the current world leaders. It’s all too easy to see how civil liberties can be chipped away without people understanding the ultimate ramifications.

Definitely suggest a light, funny listen after this!

Very good!

I read a review about Christina Dalcher that said her stories are believable because they just push the boundaries of what already occurs. I totally agree with this. Very good story with some characters you love to hate.

Believable

because it's not some impossible thing that would never happen. it's very good at showing you that awful things happen so slowly and then all at once at the same time.

this book is awful

I loved this book, and easy to get into and listen too, no annoying voices - good story.

Futuristic world - right up my street

Whilst I enjoyed the story, too much was given away too quickly, thus making the conclusion somewhat dulled. parts felt shallow and worthy of expansion and I felt that the history of the main character felt flat in places, leaving a disconnect at times.
Certainly worth a read, and acknowledgement that our own history has strong connections to the themes is needed.

Full of potential
