It's weird to read this 1994 book in the current state of the world. It's about something so absurd that it could easily happen.

It felt like it went nowhere, specially the romance the MC wrote. Still, it's reflective on the inportance of memories and on how weird authoritive regimes are,

It's funny the first 50 Pages, I laughed about the concept and it does help understanding some basis of philosophy. However, it doesnt need that much analysis and deep dive

So many thuings that make this book beautiful... from giving words literal power to the fight for the distruction of the webs of imperialism, colonialism and racisn
Stunning

After reading The Poppy Wars trilogy and Babel, this doesn't feel like a Rebecca F Kuang book. The premise is interesting and the denial from the MC is astonishing, but it feels like it explores too much the same feelings and questions. Also, the only thing that kept me going after só much white victimisation all through the book is the fact that I already knew the author.

I know it's based on the movie, and not the other way around, but the movie is somehow more whimsical and shows more the friendship between the Dead Poets, specially Neil and Todd. The whole academia vibes of the movie isn't present in the book and those are the only reasons it's not a 5-stars. Love the message and it'll stick with me for life
