3* and maybe i’m being a bit generous here. i stopped looking forward to reading leave the world behind after watching the netflix film adaptation (which i also gave 3* over on letterboxd and which, unfortunately, was a pretty faithful adaptation), and then even more so when i spotted the mediocre 3.16* rating on goodreads. however, the randomiser (how i make my most important decisions) gave me this book to read from my tbr, and i spotted that it was thankfully under 300 pages, and so read it i did. and to summarise, it was not disappointing but only because my expectations had already been brought down to a reasonable level.
