Pensaba que viviendo en el siglo XXI nada me sorprendería de este libro, conforme lo leía pensaba: "ah, esto ya sucede", "a esto llegaremos dentro de poco", etc. Aún así, la tercera parte del libro me ha dejado tieso y roto y con  muy mal cuerpo. Jamás pensaba que un libro podría dejarme con tanto miedo y mal cuerpo, para mí es un libro político de terror.

This book is scary. There's not much I can say about it besides saying that it's scary and that I honestly think it should be mandated reading in schools... wow.

why do British dystopians always have a nursery rhyme involved? it takes me out because it’s juvenile in an otherwise pretty heavy story
