I dont even want to use the word "depressing" because i have read novels of the sort and have loved them. This book was just plain depressingly BORING. I honestly don't know how it's a Pulitzer Prize winner. There was no explanation of how the world got this way...the ending was really the only way out yet parts of it didn't make any sense. To me, anyone could have written a bunch of fragmented thoughts and written this book. Punctuation, grammar and quotation were deviant also. How on earth (no pun)this will be a movie is beyond me!
