I had to read this book for a class, and I understand why this book is so big and the influence it had on so many works after it, but it’s just not for me. Most of the book was quite boring to me, didn’t really care about the characters much. I’m glad this book exists for the influence it has had on the dystopian genre, but it’s not for me.
