neolx 's review for:

Universality by Natasha Brown

4.0

---

This was hard to put down and kept me intrigued throughout. I felt it was a bit dull and lacking depth at times--the exploration of the ideas seemed a bit surface level--but then I got to a point in the book when I said to myself: "Wait. Actually, this is genius." But by the end, I found myself a little less wowed than I had hoped. Still a very clever, enjoyable read that felt very now and explored the complicated influences that inform peoples' political opinions. And I appreciated the focus on class, which is becoming more and more a talking point on social media and indie media but which mainstream media seems to be ignoring (I wonder why *eye roll*).
