Esta cargado de acción. Sobrecargado de acción. Apenas hay descripciones; así Que, por mucho que el mundo me llame la atencion, no tengo un solo "porqué". Es una pena. Supongo que haré caso a algunos comentarios y me veré la peli.
Eso si: para practicar la comprensión lectora en inglés, va genial.

Another book where I enjoyed the movie more. The world building in the book is too loose for the kind of story they are trying to tell. In the end it feels thrown together. For a sci-fi story that is a social warning it doesn't do a very good job.

Despite a few obvious deviations from the film of the same name this book gave me a nostalgic thrill. It was easy to populate the story with the familiar faces of Michael York and Jenny Agutter, as the movie is a favourite from my childhood. In places the story shows its age, but on the whole I think it has aged well and I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the story in its original form.

A very short read, the plot whips around almost too quickly to keep up. Many characters and settings are introduced without explanation, but this book takes place in an incredibly imaginitive and relevant future.

Cool idea which inspired many other works of science fiction. Although it's pretty action-packed, I wasn't attached to the characters and the story fell a little flat for me. I won't continue in the series.

The pacing is really off, but the story is decent. I'm about to go watch the movie now!

Pretty interesting. It was better then the movie, lots was left out. I will not continue on with the series presently but likely later on. The ideas were original in comparison to recent science fiction. Exactly what I was looking for when I started reading.

I like the dystopian context where no one lives beyond the age of 21. But the story moves at a SUPER fast pace which often I like but at times in this book I felt like I hadnt been given enough information to really understand what was going on or where the characters were. Also the female character Jess is nothing more than an accessory which can be frustrating to read. But otherwise it was an enjoyable, quick read.
