3.5. i really liked the story idea, but the writing is just outdated. i read this to read Julia though, so im excited to read that and understand what’s happening.

Book was very dense and I have other stuff I'd rather read right now. I'll probably go back to it at some point.

This book was really good. But it wasn’t THE BEST. I found my self falling asleep while reading it sometimes but nonetheless a good experience. I recommend this book to addicted political readers haha.

أعجبني الكتاب. لكن لا اعتبره من أفضل الاشياء التي قراءتُها. وجدتوا نفسي اغفِ للمينام عندما اقرأُه ، على رغم من هذا، كان كتاب جديد و مُختلف عن قرائاتي السابقة. أنصح هذا الكتاب للقُراء المُدمنين بالسياسة ههههه.

My first dystopian classic. I really enjoyed this book, until we got to the book within the book that went on and on about government and politics. That really took away the fictional magic I enjoyed so much in the first half. The ending was one of the few unhappy endings that I found fully satisfying. Overall, a great book for English classes and for students learning about government and society.

Un excelente libro, con mucha razón, pero lo sentí lento!!! Con relleno incluso. Me demore 15 meses y 13 días en terminarlo, lo cual es inaudito!

El protagonista es un pelotudo! Imposible empatizar con el, el resto de la historia es perfecta. Julia también es tremenda boluda!

En fin. El libro es bueno pero no es mi tipo de libro...
