I’m very glad I picked up the audiobook, I’ve tried to read classics before but struggled to because the style they’re written in is hard for me to get into. Listening to it was much better though and I’ll have to do that for other classics I’ve been meaning to read.
I’ve much enjoyed listening to this book and it made me think a lot about what the government in this book and the government for the country I live in have in common (a decent amount it seems, which isn’t a good look haha). The ending wasn’t exactly what I had hoped for but the book is meant to be realistic, so I do suppose the ending does make sense.
