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.

The scenes are gruesome, detailed in a wonderful way but nothing special if you’ve a reader of extreme horror in general. To people who aren’t used to intense horror and gore, it’ll definitely be a hard one to get through.
I strangely felt more sad than horrified, but there’s something nice about that- horror doesn’t always have to just scare you; it can invoke other emotions too. The ending surprised me, but looking back at the course of the book- it makes sense.
Don’t go in expecting for the protagonist to change the world and society (a common trend in dystopians); he’s complicit in it. A participator and even an enforcer.
