A review by sarahbythebook
The Test by Sylvain Neuvel

dark

5.0

read on El's (ermreading) recommendation

Holy shit. 

This one needs time to process more, but the single most terrifying element of this novella is that I could easily see this becoming the reality of citizenship tests in the not-so-distant future.
