Give me a dystopia anyday! It was really interesting to read one by a woman too, you go girl.
Overall I did really enjoy this book, the ending was very clever in leaving so many questions.
However, I did feel I got quite disinterested for the majority of the middle section of the book/ plot. I didn't care about Leo much and so I missed the Linda/ other people chat.

as someone who is not usually a Dystopian Fiction Girl, i really appreciated that this was very a much a politics-explored-through-the-personal type of book. it’s so unfair that this isn’t shouted about like it’s contemporaries (especially when it was doing some of george orwell’s bits before george orwell was). there are many layers to it!!! it’s very well done!!!

the middle lagged a bit (i’m putting that down to a lack of linda) but overall i very much appreciated it for what it is

En osaa antaa tähtiarviota ainakaan näin pian lukemisen jälkeen. Tämä kirja ahdisti mutta antoi loppua kohden myös hitusen toivoa.
