Without Disruption by Carrie French
5.0
I had originally rated this a 4 but I can’t stop thinking about it so I think I need to bump my rating to a 5.
I have been trying to scratch my brain for an adjective that describes how this book makes you feel while staring at the wall after finishing the last page. I’m sure it exists either in English or another language but I just don’t know what it is.
My all time favorite book is 1984. I want to be very clear: the plot is nothing like 1984. But the adjective that I’m searching for to describe Without Disruption is probably the same one that I would use to describe 1984. Something like melancholy with a side of nihilism.
Our main character, Harrison, lives in a world that guarantees contentment by committing to a highly specific lifestyle. He isn’t content in the society that he was born into, nor is he content in the second, nor the third. As he starts to dig into the truth about his world, he begins to run out of options.
This is a government dystopian book - where the government tries to convince its people that they live in a utopia and that the heavy surveillance is for its citizens benefit. This is one of my favorite types of dystopian books!
The character building was absolutely brilliant. Harrison was interesting and complex. The supporting cast brought a wide array of representation, personalities, and loyalties (or lack thereof).
The story was incredibly unique and the writing style was pleasant to read and easy to follow.
Do yourself a favor and pick this book up!
