5.0
The most important dystopic novel I've ever read. The content is very uncomfortable, but I think everyone who can should read it. Particularly prescient in 2020.
Graphic: Violence, Gore, Police brutality, and Blood
Moderate: Sexual content, Racism, Sexism, and Addiction
Minor: Ableism
America is essentially experiencing a complete breakdown.
