Boy meets girl, girl changes boy, boy gets in trouble, The End
review
A great look at a dystopian future, showing how society can break itself in a matter of generations. A shifting social norm leads to a nearly unrecognizable England. The perfect book to read during your angsty teenage years to further disenchant you from the rest of the world. The plot was brilliant and the characters were so well developed that they will stay with you for years after reading it. This novel is not about those small ideas though, character and plot have so little to do with the message of the story you can completely ignore them and still take more away from this than almost any other book you have ever read. This book is about humanity and what little hope there is for it. Set on the precipice where politics, psychology and sociology meet this will take you for such a loop that you will change the way you view the world (at least temporarily).
I think everyone should read this.
10/10 because everyone should read it (the writing is not particularly phenomenal, good but not great)
The Time Machine - H G Wells
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
Lord of the Flies - William Goulding
