So Close

i’m so tantalizingly close to being done with this behemoth (i still have 7 hours left in the audiobook)

I DNFed this in high school, and now after picking it back up, I kind of remember why… It’s not necessarily *poorly* written… just kind of *weirdly* written? And it picks kind of strange things to get all dystopian about

i don’t really understand why snow is acting the way he is…i know he is motivated by control and ‘the social order’, but he’s weirdly possessive of lucy grey considering he keeps forgetting the word ‘contract’ (and relationships are like the ultimate contract?).

idk. just seems kind of incongruous character-wise considering how calculated the rest of his actions seem to be

meh so far but whatever. she spells everything out so clearly that there’s zero subtext or inferences that fall to the reader to figure out, so kind of a slop book (which makes it good for listening to at work)
