i enjoyed this far more than 1984, maybe because the premise is more clear and understandable. i feel like it’s also more accurate to how the world is, and it can be compared to so many different governments. very insightful and could easily make someone aware of the unfairness in their own society.

this is the first book i’ve read on my own outside of school in a very long time. i wasn’t a fan of 1984 but i was still looking for a good dystopian novel, so i tried this one. i really enjoy the author’s writing style, it makes the characters feel so full and alive. i think there’s a lot to think about with this book, and it leaves you questioning things. i do think the ending was a bit quick, but i’m sure it was intentional. i recommend this book if you’re looking for a good dystopian.
