riptidemigod's review against another edition
0* sur 5
c'était pas très bon si vous voulez mon avis
1. la relation de Adriane et Ira est tellement superficielle, ça manque cruellement de sentiments
2. comment ça tu crées une société totalitaire complexe mais tu fais que effleurer les apparences de celle ci ?
3. Adriane est détestable, sa narration est décousue et elle fait que se plaindre h24, elle a aucune volonté ou dignité c'est un petit chien en quête d'affection vraiment pas intéressante
4. le dénouement ? un deux ex machina peu convaincant qui coupe net le récit et qui laisse le lecteur abasourdi parce qu'on allait ENFIN comprendre le fonctionnement de la Zone 9
5. le style m'agace au plus au point, l'auteur switch entre discours narrativisé et discours direct sans cesse c'est fatiguant

Oates got me in the first half. But then it went nowhere, and I am fighting to make sense of this ending. I loved her writing as always, but the story itself dropped the ball and I am getting really tired
of forgiving endings that gave me nothing.

Like others I liked the premise but was disappointed. This novel seemed disjointed to me and trying to be clever. Perhaps it went over my head. I had been recommended the author but am disappointed and probably wont pick up any others.

Really enjoyed this book and found myself hooked quite quickly. The writing style was very captivating and readable - it isn't something I thought I'd like and I think it's probably difficult to write well.
Generally I enjoy sci-fi and dystopias, and while this story definitely has elements of this, in reality the story is much less about the world around the main character, and more about her just, going through it. I'm not sure how it didn't bore me to tears when I say it like that - but really I did find it fascinating.
I wouldn't say that any of the characters are particularly likeable - sometimes the main character can be quite infuriating really - but that isn't necessarily an issue for me, though I can see why it is for some of the others leaving negative reviews for this.
I really loved the ending, though again I can see not everyone feels that way. I like to think it left me with questions but I think I know (and don't like) the answer. Either way I loved the mystery of it.

At the risk of sounding too mean— this book is exceedingly dull. The narrator is absolutely insufferable, the plot goes nowhere, and it suffocates on its own lore until the lore suddenly doesn’t matter. Skip this if you can help it.
