2.0 out of 5 stars A Chore to Read 26 Nov 2003
By "amberzed"
Format:Paperback
The Kin by Peter Dickinson is a huge (over 600 pages) novel for children and adults alike. It is set 200 000 years ago in Africa, and follows the Kins, a tribe who has been forced to leave their lands and go in search of a new safe haven. Their journey is told in four parts, from the viewpoints of four children of the tribe. They face dangers from the elements and from the wild creatures, but also from other tribes. To deal with these they must stick together and learn from their mistakes.

This book soon becomes a chore to read; the writing style coupled with the tedious subject matter ensured this. A story about the ways of living of people two hundred millennium ago does not inspire me in the slightest. For the size of this book, the actual content of plot is minimal and with little discernible themes it makes for an almost forgettable experience. Credit to the author for sticking with the Kin throughout the tiresome ordeal. Only recommended for adults with an interest in the ways of prehistoric man.
