i accidentally spoiled myself for the book 70% through but even knowing the ending i still really enjoyed the book. the way it was written, their chili accidentally spoiled myself for the book 70% through but even knowing the ending i still really enjoyed the book. the way it was written, their childhood, the academia and tommy!! (i know andrew garfield plays tommy in the movie so i pictured him as tommy the entire book) this was a really good experience especially via audiobook and i’m glad i read it!
i know a lot of people think this book is boring but i found the boarding school interesting and i liked hearing kathy’s long ass random stories. i like how information is withheld and that you spend the entire novel waiting to figure out what happened. now i think that the plot twist is meh, it’s fine. but i think the book is more so about the relationships she has with these other characters with the plot twist added.
MINOR SPOILERS HERE i like that it wasn’t action heavy in the end and it is a little sad (or a lot actually) because these kids were raised to be a certain way and to basically be sheep, this book isn’t like other dystopian novels because they aren’t fighting the big bad and bringing down the system and to me that’s very realistic. that’s also something that hasn’t been done before and that’s what sets this apart from the other dystopian novels. i read that when asked why the kids didn’t just run away the author states how that’s what happens in most dystopian novels and he didn’t want that to happen in his.
i thought it was super interesting and yeah it was boring at some points but i just found the main character intriguing AND I LOVE TOMMY OKAY?
