Dystopi som jeg leste som tenåring - husker den enda så den må ha gjort inntrykk.

[Edicute · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brutal, and scarily relevant !

[Heidi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jeg leste denne boka først på tidlig 80-tallet og syns den var fantastisk. Den har holdt seg godt syns jeg.

[Anna · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's the sequel to Twilight Country.

[Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good reading! An uncomfortable feeling that this scene could be a few years down the road. Both books were worth reading

[Zaantar · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the most influential books in my life. Often brutal, but honest.
