Hothouse by Aldiss was a surprisingly fast read. I wasn't sure what to expect after the first chapters, but as it moved along readers get to see other regions of Earth and then Luna. I enjoyed the world building and the mad ecology of the no man's land (ironic that name given the status of man in the book) of the beach, and the encounter with ancient technology in the ruins of Calcutta.
Still, I felt, well disappointed. Somehow the end of the book was a let down and left me feeling unfulfilled.
