Had not read anything else by him, and got to this one after seeing the movie first - exactly as some people have said not to do !
He posted on FB the other day with his notes on the 'writing of' ...
It was a strikingly sad movie - for sure.
And the book ? sad but the emotion felt diffused, kind of like the info bits given out by instructors about what these students were to do ... exactly.
This 'hints' felt a bit less clear in the movie than the book.
After reading some of the comments on Good Reads and elsewhere, also struck by how many write in ' This was so sad ... it was a bad movie because it made me sad. ' comments to this end.

Not unlike Riddley Walker , it hits on a kind of sad grown from finding out just how big the disaster / ruin of Earth, Londonium, parsing of 'human' and not human is or was.
Like this, kind of like coming upon the wide ocean and being overwelmed for a moment.
