A review by roseybot
Blood Red Road by Moira Young
3.0
I was told this was an excellent book, but I found it to be a bit... meh. It started out really strong, but the romance bothered me (not helped by my mother's comments while we listened to it crossing South Dakota), with Jack being awfully controlling, and then their "bickering" being rather mundane and simply to create a bickering type relationship. I don't know. I'm not tired of dystopias, but this book reminded me of why people are.
My mother was very gripped, I was not. I can't tell if that's the difference between a writer/reader and just a reader though. Perhaps my critical reading made it much harder to focus on the good.
