The writing style was unique, and not my favorite, but it was still cool. A lot of elements rang true in comparison to societies around the world, and I think it does a good job at being a dystopian that’s society out for its shit. It was a little hard to get into at times because the character isn’t the most interesting, but once you got into it you were in it and enjoying it.
