Ikwezi reviewed American War: A Novel by Omar El Akkad
Review of 'American War: A Novel' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
His world building was excellent, and the week of the "ban gas stoves" controversy was a good week to read about a future Southern secession premised on continued fossil fuel use. The dialogue was largely expository and otherwise clunky, so it read more like a treatment for Premium Television than a novel. It will make a great TV show, for sure.
