But I guess it’s still good book

Extremely sad and full of hope and beauty, I cried for hours straight and I smiled at the end. 
Definitely worth every second I spent reading this masterpiece.

I had a lot of hopes for this book, but I
was disappointed.  It was great storyline the main focus in the world and the slaughterhouse.  Until we get to chapter 18 part one, unnecessary rape scene, a lot of characters for no reason at all.  Not to mention this book is about losing a child and fertility problems more than the world collapse and cannibalism. I ended up with a lot of questions and little answers.

I listened to the audio book. It’s really good book for sleeping, I can’t remember half of the story because every time I listen I sleep. In good way. 
But in same part of the book when I was aware of the story line, I get mad and sad society treats autistic so awfully.

Extremely sad book, but it didn’t make me cry. Dark reality and cruel society.
