I really enjoyed it. It was an interesting read for me. Although I felt the ending was unsatisfying. In addition it bothered me how he was supposed to be so smart, but got distracted with things that didn't matter at the moment. Overall i really like the language.
Summary: Fourteen-year-old Harrison Bergeron lives in a world where all people have been made as equal as the powers that be know how to make them: intelligent people wear earpieces that emit though-interrupting noises, beautiful people wear masks to obscure their faces, strong people wear heavy weights to make movement just as difficult for them as it is for everyone else. Unfortunately for Harrison, he is a little to exceptional to be subdued.
