3.0
This was an interesting read. It really left me thinking about how we can see some of the features of this book's dystopia in many of today's nations. Sadly, just like many other classics written by men, this book does have quite a lot of misogyny which really left a bad taste in my mouth. I'd give this 4/5 but I'll lower it to 3/5 because of the misogyny and minor racism
Graphic: Torture
Moderate: Misogyny
Minor: Racism, Racial slurs, and Rape
