Bright Young Things
Bright Young Things | Scarlett Thomas
3 posts | 11 read | 6 to read
Bright Young Things wanted for Big Project.' They're in the prime of their lives but our bright young things are all burnt out. Six sparky twenty-somethings just out of university and working dead-end jobs, they are all bored to tears with their lives and looking for a way out. When a mysterious job is advertised in the newspaper, they all apply. What they least expect is to find themselves prisoners on a deserted island. There's food in the fridge and they have a bedroom each, but there's no telephone, no television, and no way to escape.

Good. Enjoyed it but as not much as her other books as there was no real story to it and it didn't really end. Usually I find with her books that there is more than meets the eye when the story develops but this is one of her early novels and hadn't quite developed her style yet. Recommend for an easy read between books. 📖📚

I like this passage as I agree with the sentiment about how books are time capsules of their time if written in the current time. As I would agree that references do age but that is the charm about them as they are needed to add to the story of a book and let the reader become part of the story.

I know whilst reading this book I grew up with alot of these references so it brings back alot of memories! 📖📚
