My Book Review of Controller (Warmer collection)
Controller by Jesse KellermanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Oddly Dark
I understand the darkness of this tale… how it fits this series. Still, it is oddly out of place for me. It felt more “Twilight Zone” than “climate.”
I liked the vastly different approach of the writer because it’s not the same take regurgitated. Yet, I can’t say I was truly entertained – disturbed, but not entertained. Perhaps that was the author’s intent.
I want to like this short story. In truth, I can’t hate it. It’s very… human. The misery of human nature being slowly cooked in a hellish heat of despair is an accurate summation. That’s probably a good depiction of what we’re doing to Earth.
