Ascapola reviewed The holy machine by Chris Beckett
Review of 'The holy machine' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
An easy read, with not very much character development and perhaps a few too many coincidences. But I enjoyed the unusual setting in the Balkans. The strength of this debut novel is in the themes of what it is to be alive, to be conscious and to be human or not. The main protagonists all travel on different journeys of discovery.
