Review of 'High-Rise' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This is seriously shocking stuff. Ballard gives us a vision of social collapse in which the wealthy tennants of an exclusive apartment block turn on each other against a background of escalating violence. The novel manages to be both gripping and disturbing and genuinely unnerving.
