A review by whimsicalmeerkat
This Perfect Day by Ira Levin

4.0

Overall, I liked this book quite a bit. It was lacking in the character development department, but it seems like that wasn't the author's purpose in the book, so in a way I don't mind. There was a portion towards the end which dragged a bit for me, but it really picked back up in the last dozen or so pages, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3. Really, it should be 3.5. It is very similar to [b:1984|5470|1984|George Orwell|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1292266223s/5470.jpg|153313], but not as good. I did find it to be better than [b:Brave New World|5129|Brave New World|Aldous Huxley|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41SJW829TEL._SL75_.jpg|3204877], or maybe it's just that I enjoyed it more. I found its point of view of the society more suited to me. It also has definite similarities to [b:Anthem|667|Anthem|Ayn Rand|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1157143423s/667.jpg|287946], only well written and much more developed. Less a mini-manifesto and more of an actual book.
