Summary
Wolf Country is a powerful dystopian vision in the spirit of Black Mirror and Never Let Me Go.
Ownership of land outside the city is the preserve of a tiny elite and the rest of the population must spend to earn a Right to Reside. Ageing has been abolished thanks to a radical new approach, replacing retirement with blissful euthanasia at a Dignitorium. When architect Philip goes missing, his wife Alice risks losing her home and her status, and begins to question the society in which she was raised. Her search for him uncovers some horrifying truths about the fate of her own family and the reality behind the new social order.

Good
I thought it was good, this is a vision of a dystopian future that could happen in the world, it reminds me of 1984, good job.

About 3/4 way through the book when I understood the title 😵
As a freebie, I wasn’t expecting this to be so good, a gentle start that drew me in a almost a horror novel about love, family and where we may end up with our society

Lovely book
One of the best dystopian novels I have read for a long while. The concept of compulsory spending is so apt that with hindsight I can't work out why I didn't think of this myself

Mind Blowing!
This is a brilliant novel and superbly narrated by Amaka Okafor. I'm a fan of dystopia, sci-fi, thrillers and Tunde Farrand's Wolf Country I feel is a classic in this genre.
The story is set in London 2050 where the new social order has eradicated poverty, and citizens, dependent on status, enjoy a comfortable or luxurious lifestyle. However, as the story unfolds through our protagonist Alice we learn more about the dark reality of the 'new system'. Gripping, frightening and thought-provoking as this novel touches on many of the social issues that face us now with terrifying future 'solutions'.
Overall, the novel felt to me very much in the spirit of Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror and Huxley's Brave New World.

Dystopian world mixed with solent green
Premise of the story was there but the substance was not solid. The characters weren’t well rounded enough to make a compelling story.

Where we could be headed without state regulation
Taking place in a Totalitarian society based on free market consumerism, the protagonist being someone indoctrinated into it. The end results of totalitarian systems have much in common, it seems. I think it is a thought provoking book. As an avid reader I believe this one will remain with me....

Great idea, weak ending
A rich, imaginative dystopia and a compelling story that sort of tails of at the end.
Well read and worth a read, but needs a follow up to give it some proper pay off.

great start, amazing crafting of alternative world
The end was too sudden and too neat. I thought this could have been a 3 book series when I was half way through
