July 2020
I think I enjoyed this even more than the first one. It's a fascinating piece of speculative fiction and a wild ride with a satisfying ending. The story is told from multiple POVs, which I particularly enjoyed because of how much I love all the characters. Green's writing is funny and clever and the story feels so contemporary, developing the themes covered in the first one; capitalism, technology, collaboration and power. I know I'll be thinking about it for a while

I had just as much fun as the first time. It's my favourite sort of speculative fiction, set in a world which feels like ours but with some very significant differences. I listened to the audiobook this time and I thought the whole cast was great. I love all the characters and it's such a captivating story. There's so much happening and I love just going along for the ride.

i really enjoyed this book, mostly because i am a lefty haha. i definitely had forgotten everything that had happened in the first book but thankfully the book explains the previous events in enough detail to get the general picture. 

i liked the plot and the different characters, i enjoyed most of the social commentary, however, at times it was quite on the nose.
