2.0

This is one of the worst books I’ve ever read. It’s a slow paced book written as a short story. There’s virtually no character development and the characters are unlikable. There is so little explanation about the world in the book that at times the reader may become confused. The author tries to be poetic and metaphorical but it comes off a nonsensical, boring, and confusing. The plot idea is fantastic which is why it’s such a well known book. However it is poorly executed and therefore disappointing. I love dystopian books but every time I read one as short as this I thoroughly disappointed. If you are like me and want to read this because of its cultural significance, I would still encourage you to do so, it’s actually why I read it. Read it. Form your own opinion on it. It’s okay if you’re opinion is that it sucks and it’s okay if it’s that it’s awesome.

The ending sucks and since there is so little context given throughout the book it’s difficult to think about different endings and the future of the books world
