Wow! Not what I was expecting before I started it, nor what I was expecting once I started the book and read the first few chapters, and proof that a short book can be intricate and impactful.

Originally started 25 March 2020 // loved this annotated edition, my favourite part was the introduction

Savoured it. Great

It only took me so long because I didn't want it to ever end. Thank you Lisa Taddeo for your service. Forever indebted.

OOOF contrived overdone and oh so reductive, I wish I could see how this can get rave reviews, maybe dystopian fiction is so bad overall that this is considered successful within the genre? No idea

Very interesting, and a very quick/easy read

You could read this in one sitting, I took as long as I could because I did not want it to end. All six essays are great. Spellbinding indeed :)

This book is literally mostly about an abortion, and although I didn't mind that for about 70% of it, it got too much at the last section. It felt inauthentic, a bit too insistent, like a refrain that has been overplayed. Anyway, otherwise great.

There is a sad paragraph about men, women, and chocolates, but otherwise a very entertaining educational read

I had no idea V day existed – and that this book has sparked a movement for social change

everyone read this noww

Terrifying, quick, and absorbing read.

I enjoyed the second-half even more than the first half. Loved it.

Be warned, some insensitive humour. Other than that I loved it

Ι REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT ENDED THE WAY IT DID BUT OK I STILL LOVE IT

Mohsin Hamid is such a 10/10 writer that it's unfair to the rest of the population

You won't enjoy the first 2/3 of this book as much if you know the plot, so just AVOID SPOILERS AT ALL COSTS
