The Message to the Planet

The Message to the Planet - Iris Murdoch

I tried for almost half the book, but just couldn't get into it. I couldn't figure out when the story was set, didn't warm to any of the characters, and the plot just left me cold.

 

So, I gave up.

 

It's a little disappointing because I loved the other books I read by Iris Murdoch, all of which either had a gripping plot or, as The Bell, were littered with quite humorous scenes.
