interesting idea and story. well, creepy, really. i wasn't a huge fan, but maybe that's only because the concept creeped me out. i do think it's a good book, though.

I remembered that I read it before when I get to the end lol.

I like a good future dystopian novel, especially when things look like it could really happen. Makes you think then, would it happen, would technology evolve that much to make it possible? Would people come to same conclusions as the people in the book? Would the future generetion (let's say things happened as in the book) read this book and think as a prophecy? Or perhaps all old book would be banished, only a few would know. Yeah, that's the thing about future it might happen or not. The question is would I want to live in a world like that? The answer is no, well the world we live in is not perfect but at least I can hope that it could get better, or in my worst days I would think that it is going to be even worse.

Okay I actually DID NOT finish this, but I really wanted to. It did not interest me AT ALL, and I have to encourage myself to stop now because I've renewed it so many times at my high school library yet have not made an effort to continue reading (having received an email on the past Tuesday). Hence, I am making this announcement. Personally, I'm a fan of classics, but this one did not satisfy. Do not recommend unless you're into weird writing styles. To be honest, it was similar in a way to Fahrenheit but less deeper and way more dry, in my opinion. I'm not going to say vehemently that it was not deep because I've come across many of its references and messages in my classes, it's just that I was not able to understand anything.
