Paul reviewed A Very British Coup by Chris Mullin
Not enough development
2 stars
The cover of this book claims that the novel predicted the rise of Corbyn, which it doesn't. What it does do is speculate about a very left-wing Labour government coming to power and the reaction of the establishment.
It's all a bit conspiracy laden, but the plot moves along at a fair old clip, which is both good and bad. On one hand, the pacing makes for a very readable story but the downside is that neither the themes nor the characters are really developed.
