The book has a slow start, and it may feel slow all throughout for some due to its mundane, everyday tasks, but it picks up eventually and just leaves you baffled and shocked at every turn. Especially so the ending. I truly love this and wholeheartedly recommend this to any dystopia and Orwell fans out there.

This is classified as dystopian fiction, but do not expect dizzying science fiction, dark motives or a grand apotheosis from this book. You’ll be very disappointed. This is for the readers who love magic realism, Murakami, Marquez and Ishiguro, for the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-enthusiast. Those readers will find this a highly rewarding story.
Moderate: Confinement
Minor: Death and Blood
