Preferred the film, writing was a bit hard to get into
Too many words and too many thoughts I didn’t want to think or visualize. Boring overwrought and unending. Dystopian malarkey.

at first i wasn’t sure if i was connecting with alam’s writing style but as i continued i was amazed by this little bubble these characters were existing in (ps ruth sucks)
I heard the movie adaptation was great and this book was a best seller so I was excited to get it. There were moments of “that’s weird/whats going to happen” but the writing was bland to me, the thrill was limited, and the parts about their teenage son m@sterbating (“shooting ropes”) and his “balls sticking to his leg”… why? Adds nothing. Some interesting bits and lots of potential to be more, but not worth the hype.
Read this book while living in the middle of the woods at summer camp with no cell service which tbh really added to the vibe
This was very vague but it still had a sense of dread building. The writing just felt really weird and there were lots of strange sexual descriptions. Plus it doesn’t feel like there was much of a point
If I spend 5 minutes listening to a shopping list I'm gonna hate your fucking book tbh
