więc no...
kojarzycie te książki, które was połykają, potem wypluwają, połykają po raz drugi i trawią was aż w końcu czujecie się zdruzgotani? to jest jedna z takich książek
wizja takie antyutopijnego świata jest przerażająca, ale tak świetnie opisana że wydaje się jak najbardziej prawdziwa
kiedy nauczycielka historii pożyczyła mi tę książkę, to myślałem, że to będzie kapitalistyczna propaganda
oj, jak ja się myliłem
książka porusza bardzo ważne tematy, jest napisana przecudownie
ja pochłonąłem ostatnią jej część w jednym siedzeniu, a podczas punktu kulminacyjnego (jeżeli przeczytał*ś książkę, to wiesz o jaką sytuację chodzi) dosłownie dygotały mi ręce
bez wątpienia lektura uświamiadająca wiele spraw i zmieniająca pogląd na wiele spraw
5⭐ /5
ZDECYDOWANIE POLECAM
chociaż boję się, że ta książka straci na znaczeniu, bo stała się lekturą szkolną ;///

3.0

I despise the main character. He is extremely sexist/misogynistic and his inner monologue is disgusting to read. The way he talks about women and sex and how he wants to abuse them is horrific. The book starts off slow so it may be hard to get into. It doesn’t pick up till about half or 3/4 of the way in. The book explores a lot of interesting themes on political theory and provides a dystopian-like universe to explore the what if’s. What does it take for humanity to be lost? And is it possible for humanity to be regained once it’s been eradicated?

It would be a less depressing read if it weren't such an accurate description of reality.
