Read if you enjoy: 
  • Misogyny
  • Sentences that don't make sense the first time you read them 
  • Action scenes that are over in two sentences
Spoiler
Infidelity
The protagonist sleeping with an 18 year old 
The protagonist who kills androids for a living sleeping with an android
Sleeping with someone the day you meet them 
Falling in love immediately after having sex with someone 
Power imbalances
The stuff about specials was fucking gross, a person doesn't need a certain IQ to be seen as human good grief 
I don't understand why this is a classic. I've heard the film is only loosely based on the book which is good because this is garbage. I liked the stuff about animals.

The book has a lot of interesting concepts, especially some that didn’t make it into the movie at all, like the religion Mercerism and the whole electric animals thing. 

But there were so many things I didn’t enjoy, most importantly the protagonist. We are obviously supposed to symphasize with him, which is just not possible.
