This was a fascinating read that was way ahead of its time. I wouldn't say it was an enjoyable read but it certainly makes you think about society and the way a government acts.
This is a very special book.
It is rare that a book gives you such a sense of gratitude for being able to read, it is a celebration of knowledge.
Great read that gets you hooked after the first page.
I didn't enjoy this very much. It was slow and pondering in sections and the middle part that goes into detail about her past trauma nearly made me stop reading it. Tempted to see what the movie is like but not a book I'll be recommending to anyone.
Half way through I almost gave up on it as it was so slow and plodding. All of the ‘twists' were so telegraphed from the start and the contrivances conjured up to stop the protagonist from finding out too early what we all knew already was maddening. However, around half way through the book became more about the characters and how they cope with such a distressing situation instead of the paper thin plot and at that point it started draw me in to the point I couldn't wait to find out how it ended. First half 2 stars, second half 4.
