'Before the Fall' by Noah Hawley
Review
I was enthralled and on tender hooks throughout this novel. I enjoyed the philosophical discussions. I enjoyed the psychological profiles of the stereotypical characters. I enjoyed the drama unfolding right to the last page and the ending leaving the reader to wonder about the Universe.
My only criticism is that it had a sexist dimension. All the female characters were home makers, flaky heiresses or air stewardesses. No female scientists, of which there are many, or female company execs who balance the male dominated world.
So that is the end of my feminist rant, on the whole this is an exciting book, well written and thought provoking. Great Read!
