It’s a disgusting topic. But, that’s the point. It goes too far, but that’s the point. Its comments on capitalism and race and sex and classism is unmatched.
It definitely gave me Fahrenheit 451 vibes just in a more nauseating way.

Moderate: Rape

the story describes atrocities almost nonchalantly. it unsettled me in that i recognise i was supposed to be horrified, but half the time i just felt somewhat numb. perhaps the nearly indifferent or resigned tone throughout the book just acted like a sedative. but it is a good book within the parameters of a dystopian story that it is.

Make no mistake, this book is a horror. But it is also a masterpiece of literature. This book is brutal from beginning to end. This book made me feel gross. This book made me reflect on the classism of politics (specifically in the United States). The book stresses that
The last line of this book shattered me.
