PositiveSFBookScience Fiction can take itself too seriously, so it is great to read an offbeat genre novel and they don\'t come much more leftfield than The Cabinet. It stands on similar ground as A Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy, filtered through the macabre gaze of Chuck Palahniuk ... The book has a very dry sense of humour ... The book starts to take some dark twists and turns. The humour steps aside to be replaced by humanity ... A mention to translator Halbert must be given as you feel the authentic voice of Kim has been captured and put on the page.

PositiveSFBookThe concept of alternative realities and parallel universes is not new...but it is now Barry\'s mind works that breathes new life into the concept ... Felicity\'s naturally inquisitive mind makes the book feel like an investigative crime thriller as she hunts for clues ... This book is a page turner. Barry has taken a classic science fiction concept and written something true to the author\'s own style.
