This book provides a fascinating speculative insight into a complicit civilian of a futuristic, dystopian, totalitarian state. It’s worth reading and giving some patience.

What I do know is that by sick parents and sick teachers still sicker children are being brought up, until the sick has now become the norm and the healthy a horror.

This book was not my favourite, largely because of the unpleasant main character. He is clearly meant to be unlikeable but it made the reading experience unenjoyable for me.
