It's rare to find a book written with this much skill that also has important things to say about the state of the world. It reminded me of Helen Phillips' the Beautiful Bureaucrat and a little of the Portable Veblen, only it's by and about a dude. I loved the writing here and wish I could find another book to read just like it right now. Luke Kennard, write more books!

I am still umming and erring about my opinion of this book. I thought the beginning was really good, it lost its way in the middle and the ending felt a bit rushed. I think 3.5 stars rounded up is a fair enough rating though as I think the book overall had potential, even though at times it didn't quite manage to realise it.Karl is a bit of a chancer. He makes his "living" writing reviews for products he has never used and supplements this with ghost writing essays for students to pass off as their own work. He also juggles credit taking the phrase "robbing Peter to pay Paul" to a whole new level. His wife, Genevieve is a teacher and to say that they live in rather dubious rented accommodation is a bit of an understatement. It is set in what appears to be the not too distant future, this is unspecified but with technology very similar to today, it could also be a parallel universe rather than a time shift. Well, that's what it felt like to me anyway.When Karl's credit shenanigans catch up with him, he is given the choice, prison or a place on The Transition which is explained to him as the chance to be re-educated. Choosing this latter option will see him, together with his wive, moving in with and being mentored by a couple already in the organisation. They will be able to reduce their debt, save some money and, on "graduation" get a kick start into a new, better life. It's a no brainer really and, luckily for Karl, Genevieve accepts her fate accordingly.But, as with all these sorts of schemes, there are the flip sides and, as Karl discovers on digging deeper, things are not really as appear on face value. He follows a series of "clues" and talks to a whole host of people all of whom have very different stories about The Transition that contradicts the information that has been imparted by his mentors and paints a different picture to that depicted in the shiny brochure.And then, for me, things go a little bit off key and admittedly my attention began to wander as I lost concentration. I guess that maybe I missed the point on occasion but then again, I really loved the setting up first 30% or so and at that point I would have considered that I was OK with the author's wavelength so, to me, this about face didn't really make sense. But, on the back of what I had already read, I carried on and just accepted the things I had issues with, hoping that it would come back together in the end. Well, it did, sort of. It kicked in again for me around the 70% or so mark and I was hoping that it would tie up nicely but, again for me, it fell short of that and I finished the book with more questions than answers. Thinking again, maybe that's the point. But for me personally, that's not really how I like to finish a book. Yes, I accept the not every book ends with every thread tied up neatly, but I always get some feeling of satisfaction as I close the book for the final time. Here though, I was left flat and somewhat bereft. Again, this could very well be a me thing, hence rounding up my 3.5 star review to 4 - benefit of the doubt and all that.It also didn't help that, even though I started off connecting with the main characters, that connection was stretched through the middle third and pretty much non existent for some by the end of the book. I ended up not really caring about what happened to them which would also probably explain the flat feeling at the end.On a more positive note, there are some very funny parts to this book. Some cracking one liners that had me chuckling to myself. There are also quite a few brilliant life observations which I found very clever.According to his biography, this is the author's first novel although he is already an established poet. Although not the best for me, it does show a lot of potential and I would be interested in seeing what he delivers for his second book as I think he definitely has more to give and I would like to see how he matures from this debut.My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.

I'm shocked that there are so few reviews for this book (I believe this will be the tenth???). It reads like something that should have hundreds by now. The plot is fairly simple: Karl and Genevieve are sent to a cult-like probation program to rehabilitate them into model citizens. This could be boring, but it's actually brilliantly nuanced and funny. To be fair, there are many bad versions of this plot trope: "to be 'fitter, happier' is to embrace a fascistic lifestyle devoid of real human depth." But Kennard takes this simple plot and makes it work by writing real characters that live in a real world - a world with exceptions, with mental illness and plans that fail.There are no evil geniuses. The bureaucracies are not invulnerable. There are plenty of loose ends. But these enhance the sense that a program like "the Transition" could actually already exist. In fact, if it did, I suspect most of society just wouldn't care, because we typically don't care about something until our friends spam it on our facebook wall.There are a lot of questions to ask when reading a book like this: How fair should society be? Are we obligated to grow up in the same way previous generations did? How exactly should resources be distributed? Would it be good if there were ever a system that you /couldn't/ fail?But beyond the social criticism, which can range from a David Graeber level analysis to a sort of slacker manifesto, the real point of the book is that society is a system which would prefer if we increased our productivity levels, regardless of a lot of other factors, and it's on us personally to respond accordingly. Some people seem to think the ending was weak. I disagree - I was actually very pleased with the way it turned out.The greatest quality, however, may be that I enjoyed existing within the writing. That is the single hardest thing to pull off as an writer, and the single greatest joy to experience as a reader, so I will certainly look for more books by this author in the future.
