2.0

This book was just weird. It's not the sex stuff that was weird. I don't mind weird sex stuff. It's that the dystopia didn't seem realistic. At the same time, parts felt boring. Parts of the world haven't changed, yet parts are so different. 

At the end, it tries to wrap things up, but it doesn't feel successful.

3.5

Giving a 3.5 because the first half of the book is quite good, but after Stan and Charmaine enter into different story lines that is where it becomes boring. It was way better when they were together, after

Stan's death

things become a bit of a mess. I also didn't really like the ending

brain wipes and sex slavery for everyone!
