1.0

extrem langweilig, es ist die ganze zeit nichts passiert, aber dafür kenn ich jetzt die komplette lebensgeschichte von allen bewohnern dieser stadt in allen einzelheiten, nach der ich nicht gefragt hatte. keine ahnung was das ziel dieses buchs war, ob es einfach eine dystopie beschreiben oder irgendwie gesellschaftskritik üben wollte, rübergekommen ist davon leider überhaupt nichts. es gab auch zero überraschungen oder interessante plot twists. vielleicht (vermutlich) ist es auch ihr schreibstil, der mich nicht gefällt, aber mit fällt ehrlich nicht eine sache ein, die mir an dem buch gefallen hät. die prämisse war relativ interessant, wurde aber null ausgearbeitet oder weiterentwickelt, nur um sie am ende nicht ausreichend aufzulösen. es wurden viel zu viele charaktere detailliert eingeführt, die im weiteren verlauf der geschichte keinerlei (tragende) rolle gespielt haben.
