did not like it
bookshelves: dystopian, own-audible

This book is about observations. A lot of really boring observations.

Char Oh no, really? :(

I picked it up because I was supposed to join in a buddy read of this book this month. I couldn't get into it, but thought it was just me. (And it probably was, I've DNFed two more books since this one.)


Pierre I didn't like it at all way back when and I also thought I was the odd man out.

I absolutely hated this book. I'm glad I finally read it so I can mark it off my list, but I hated pretty much everything about it.

You are definitely not alone.


Sasha Volchkov Agreed!!! I was very disappointed


Claire that's quite a shallow analysis.


Meaniehearts you don’t know how to read then


C.J. Seneca Agree. Boring

Sarah Maisano I’m about 3/4 of the way through this. If I have to hear another anagoly after every damn observation. And not just one, we’re blessed with four or five in one go. This is exhausting.


Sarah Thierry You only read to read then, and that’s sad. Think a little.
