We by Yevgeny Zamyatin

3.0

---

I have mixed feelings about We. I’m glad I read it and I enjoyed the themes explored in this classic dystopian tale, but the style of writing didn’t work for me at all. It was very jumpy and spastic, and I felt lost many times. I can definitely see how the ideas in this book have been very influential to other authors because it sends such a powerful political message.

I really appreciated the introduction by Margaret Atwood included in this edition and the additional essays at the end from George Orwell and Ursula K Le Guin.

Thank you to Ecco and NetGalley for the ebook in exchange for an honest review.
