Editorial Reviews:

Alex Garland's international bestseller, The Beach, received extraordinary praise, and his writing was compared to Hemingway, Greene, Conrad, Golding, and Huxley. His new novel, The Tesseract, is a bold departure from The Beach, and demonstrates the enormous range of Garland's talent.

The Tesseract is a Chinese puzzle of a novel, beautifully written and suspensefully crafted. Set in the Philippines and spanning three generations, it follows three stories whose characters' fates are intertwined: gangsters on a chase through the streets of Manila; middle-class parents putting their children to bed in the suburbs; and a couple of street kids and the wealthy psychologist who is studying their dreams. It is a novel that balances science against religion, and our wills against our fates, asking the ever elusive question of where meaning lies.

Summary: Seriously.
Comment: An amazing novel. Garland is a master story teller who speaks to this generation. He shows us the seedy underbelly of the world and then brings us into the hope of those above it. He brings the characters to life with vivid imagery until you actually feel for their sorrow and happiness. I read this book in one and a half days and it has remained one of my favorites ever since. I seriously could not put it down.
