The Walled City by Ryan Graudin
5.0
I've been reading one star reviews of this book trying to figure out if we read the same book. Usually when I do this, I see their points. I see where someone could feel the book dragged, or the characters were undeveloped, or the ending was lackluster.
Not here. Not here when I was sucked in, mesmerized, from page freaking one. When I gasped ALOUD at several parts. When I sobbed at the end. When I spent an hour reading about the real Walled City, Kowloon, scrolling through photographs to try and understand the reality behind the fiction.
God, this book broke me in the best way. I thought about it all the time while I was reading it and I'll probably keep thinking about it.
How did anyone possibly think this book was so boring they couldn't finish it? I think it's amazing. I think it's easily tied with just one other for best book I've read this year so far.
If it wasn't obvious, I love this freaking book.
