I waited a long time for this book. It was postponed for several years.
And all this time I thought that The Year of the Locust is a sequel to I Am Pilgrim. But it's not. If I had known this, I wouldn't have wanted to read it. I wouldn't have been waiting for it. I wouldn't have bothered dragging this heavy load home from the library.
Reading the book was slow only because I didn't want to pick it up because of its massive size. Too heavy, especially in the summer heat.
So what happens in the book? Again, some CIA agent does some dangerous work, wandering through remote areas and deserts.
But once again I ended up getting interested, and the book and the plot took me with it.
Towards the end, The Year of the Locust changes its genre to something completely different, sci-fi and dystopian. This sudden change in plot and style has angered readers, to say the least.
