The audiobook was great. The changes that the people in the building go through is unsettling, especially as the author gives us access to the minds of the three male leads. What most disturbed me was the way the women changed, because it really showed how the values of this new society differed from ours, and how easy it would be for us to become numb to depravity. I was hoping for no animal violence, but alas.

Lord of the flies meets modern day society
Listened to this read by Tom Hiddleston. Great experience but not sure if I absorbed the book very well bc I kept getting lost in his voice and I’m not good at auditory learning lol. Seemed really good and well written but take my review w a biased grain of salt. It twas dark tho
