Fantastisk dystopi

I had different expectations about the book but I truly believe at the time it was written was blowing minds. It is also interesting to read it these days, with this political spectrum in Europe and USA.

will add the quotes i liked and some insights
challenging dark tense fast-paced

it is a good book and talks about important things but i judt didnt find it too interesting and reading/listening to it was just uncomfortable

Super intriguing. A little slow initially but great read in light of our societal dependency on “progress” and globalization.

This book was not for me. Unfortunately, both of the classics that I read this year were a let down. I just didn’t really like this story, nor the writing style - and there was a lot of philosophical stuff thrown in there too, which is not something that I enjoy. Might take a break from the classics for a while… but at least I finally met my 2023 reading goal!

“But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
