Lexicon by Max Barry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Words are all around us, in various shapes and forms and languages - but what if they could be used as weapons of mass destruction?
This dystopian book set in a familiar current time explores that possibility and introduces us to a hidden world of Poets and word power.
The pace of this book is fast - I didn't want to put it down - and there was at least one surprise twist that caught me off guard! I liked how the pieces of the puzzle started falling into place and it kept my mind racing with possibilities.
The only thing that prevented this from being a 5 star was just one misplaced flashback at the end that was a little jumbled and confusing.
Overall, this is a fantastic read and I would recommend it to all of my book-loving friends!
