"You will be happy. It is your duty to be happy. And you don't have long to wait."

The real rebellion was the sex and alcohol we had along the way

I have mixed feelings about We. I’m glad I read it and I enjoyed the themes explored in this classic dystopian tale, but the style of writing didn’t work for me at all. It was very jumpy and spastic, and I felt lost many times. I can definitely see how the ideas in this book have been very influential to other authors because it sends such a powerful political message.

I really appreciated the introduction by Margaret Atwood included in this edition and the additional essays at the end from George Orwell and Ursula K Le Guin.

Thank you to Ecco and NetGalley for the ebook in exchange for an honest review.
