review:
'Elysium' by Jennifer Marie Brissett was the August pick for my online book club.

It's hard to describe the book without delving in to spoiler territory. It's also hard to describe the book because it's got an odd concept that keeps shifting the protagonist. This book is rightfully compared with Philip K. Dick and the movie The Matrix.

Initially, I didn't like the book. Early on there are intimate things happening between characters that we've barely been introduced to, so it was hard to get a foothold. The story did level out for me and I did end up enjoying it. The author has a nice style of descriptive prose, which considering the length of this book shows some discipline in concise writing. If you read it, hang in there. It gets better.
