This is an amazing book that I read for Language Arts. It has a lot of important topics like Censorship, Brainwashing, what people can do with knowledge, etc. And it’s set in a world where everyone is kinda disconnected from each other and everything in general. I really love the characters and reading about their struggles. There’s so much to say about this book! 😁

3.0

I enjoyed the writing style a lot. The visual symbolism throughout was easy to paint a picture, and the way the words flowed was satisfying. But the actual message felt pretentious, considering the only two prominent women in this are a manic pixie dream girl (a teenager at that) and a ditzy housewife? No thanks.

How do you get so empty? He wondered. Who takes it out of you?

Overall I found this book boring, repetitive, and lacking a coherent message. I understand that this book cannot be looked at through a modern lens, but even so I fail to see why it is so highly regarded and often included in academic curriculum. I would definitely recommend reading 1984 instead if one is looking for a better story in a similar vein from the same era.

Definitely one of my favorite books I read when I was younger
It really makes you think of the importance of books especially "classics" which "a lot of people" (quotes cuz it's just a lot of people I've seen) seem to hate on

It's also interesting to think that with how some books are marked now there's a very simple non insightful labels that can slap on them to make people wanna read them and I think of that when they talked about the tv and how they stripped media down to basically nothingness

I say this to draw parallels in conversations I've had/heard with other people

Overall it's a great book though the ending bits felt a little dragged
