The List by Patricia Forde
3.0

I was able to read this book through NetGalley!

The List is classic YA dystopian. While a new story (the all too powerful leader, John Noa, is trying to make everyone wordless), it didn't seem to have a lot of punch behind it. While I understand the power of words, I don't think it is quite believable that Noa would convince everyone that the conjugations of "to be" would harm everyone... and that they should give up using them.
