Don’t like the use of slurs in this

I like the movie so I figured I would try the book. It’s a bit vulgar and I was surprised by the f, n swears in it so far

The journalism perspective is fascinating. I like how they use geolocating. If you want to check if a video is online, google image search the first frame

Never heard of the MEK. It seems cults form easily. Woman, life, freedom. Iranian protestors wanted woman’s rights, to take care of the environment and democracy

I never knew about the Balochis minorities and how they were discriminated against. It also surprised me that Iran has woman working in their secret police. The book is formatted with a journalist in the USA who works for the New York Times and a protester in Iran who collaborate together

“Wherever you are, whatever sand you can throw on the wheels of genocide throw it now”

“What is wrong with me that I cannot keep living as normal. What is wrong with those that can”

“No one has ever been unjustifiably afraid. Not in their own mind”

Americans asking why he made a massacre scene inspired by real events so brutal then someone from near Sabra asked why he toned it down so much

I think some of this book went over my head when I was younger. I forgot how dark it was

“So much lives and dies by the grace of endless forgetting”

This is one of the darkest fiction books I have ever read

I loved this book and the sequels as a kid. I don’t remember them being quite so dark.

It was pretty easy to read although I mixed up the characters occasionally. It’s hard with 100 boys. I do tend to like endings that feel more complete. I do like that we find out who wins tho. It was an interesting concept but lacking something. I read that it is an allegory for the Vietnam war. I do find it more complete in that sense

Don’t love how crude this can be but I think that’s teenager boys

I have never read a Stephen King book but I have wanted to. I was between this and the Institute which I hope to read later. I like dystopian books. Stephen king is from Maine and I like that the setting of his books are in Maine. So far the story is interesting. I am not sure entirely why they do this long walk. I hope we learn more about their world. We have gotten hints like when he mention his father being taken

I liked the part about her working to destroy art. It was interesting. I liked the world building. Unfortunately the main character annoyed me. You could have replaced her with a stuffed animal and the story would not have changed. She was so dumb. The story just happened to her. She did not notice anything. She made dumb decision after dumb decision

I find the world building interesting

She’s supposed to be 27 but acts like she is 16. She is so naive and has no clue how to act despite supposedly being raised to. She was raised in boarding school from 4 years old and occasionally mentions the rules. She follows none of them. She tells people’s secrets. She acts like she was randomly transported to this world

God she is an idiot

I liked the concept but the execution could have been better. I do get the point of how the story is different for who she is talking to. I do necessarily understand the point of the epilogue

Took me a bit to get into the second act. I do see the differences in her story this time. It is repetitive but it’s an interesting idea to see the differences. Stories change overtime

I liked the first act. I liked the idea of the plot. Now she is telling the story again to another person. It’s repetitive but I’m willing to give it a chance

Weird girl lit

I really liked Zaina and Aika is interesting but I’m not as invested in her story. I do think I will read the next one

Weird twist but I don’t necessarily dislike it. It feels like this book is a bit less of its own book and more to connect the series

Elements of sleeping beauty and Cinderella while still being unique

I didn’t love it like I liked the second one. It was too repetitive. The series started with a game and then this had two more. I did like the magic systems and characters. It was interesting. I may read the next one. I do find the world building interesting

I am not loving it

Half way through now. Been listening to it when I have a chance with my mom. It’s dense. Many names
