Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

3.5/4
I went into this book expecting something else. I thought it would be more about the world that all these women were living in and instead it was about the women. Despite this I throughly enjoyed the story. Instead of the novel being plot driven it was all about women, how they come together, and how society constantly turns his back on her. It also scared me because never have I seen a dystopian world reflect so perfectly the world that I am living in now and how it could progress to this point. I could see my future in this book, maybe I am crazy but it seems like a plausible future. Unless We change. The overall message, to me, of the book was that women/men/minorities or whoever is oppressed can always use their voice and do something even if it is dangerous. Just because it is safe it does not mean that it is right. ( I mean speaking out against wrongs even if that puts a target on your back).
