I find it highly ironic that I hated this book. It's been on my to read list for so long I was so glad when it came available but I think my very "Brave New World"
, high school reading list, teenage mind would have appreciated this immensely more. It was so jumbled and made no sense. The core of the novel, which sparked the "flame", if I may, disappeared so quickly and none of the characters had anything worthy to bring to the novel. I appreciate that might have been the point, but the purpose of the novel could have unfolded and been spelled out so much more eloquently. It was so just a quick, hot mess I was angry after reading it and can't wait to be rid of it. P.S. if anyone ever threatens to burn my books, I'll go down with the house too.
