Classic dystopian novel about the dangers of ignorance and censorship. Very slow build though.

rileyeren228's review against another edition

The main character thinks about SA way too much and people seem to praise this book and completely overlook that. There’s a difference between a book with flawed characters that are expected and a book where we take all the good and neglect to mention the bad.
