I think the writing of this book was great but the pros stop there. The narrator Theo was just an absolutely awful human so following him through the story and learning about his past was just insufferable. The ending left me wondering why. And the romance (can you call it that?) seemed so out of left field and confusing. We did read this on audio so that may have impacted the experience but I dont recommend.
Did not enjoy the ponderous lead up to an unfulfilling ending

3.5 stars. I watched the movie a few years ago and remembered liking it, so I thought I would give this book a try. From what I can remember, the movie is quite different from the book. I hardly ever say this, but I think I prefer the movie. I did enjoy being able to enter Faron's mind and learn more about his character. However, I was not impressed at all with Julian. Even with her situation, I found it very difficult to like or care about her. I never felt any emotion towards her character.
For the first time in my life have I thought a film adaptation was better to the book’

i really enjoyed the beginning and middle of this book but it fell off for me in the last quarter or so. i quite enjoyed the writing style, but the characters were so incredibly unlikeable and i didn’t like the love story that was added in. wish it could’ve stayed in the dystopian genre because that part of it was really cool but i just can’t with infidelity/cheating centered love stories
