How’re you finding this one then? Not something I’ve ever considered reading

It's good. In-fact very good. My enjoyment is perhaps tarnished by the fact I have seen the tv series and it's pretty faithful to the book so my imagination doesn't have to do much work. Will be interesting to see how it ends as I've seen where they take it with the tv show and I'm about 80 pages left and still in series 1/2

Ok! That’s interesting 🤔 my daughter’s sister in law read it (vague connection at best!) and loved it (her reading tastes are not mine!) and I found myself feeling all the fomo. Ffs, I gotta stop reading what others have read and love. But what other way is there to create an impossible TBR pile eh 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think if I hadn't watch the tv series I would be finding it astonishing. I do love dystopian fiction though. It's 100% my thing.

Dystopian isn’t my thing at all. At least I don’t think it is. I see the tag and I’m like nah. I think it’s because I don’t understand it enough due to lack of trying it.

Dystopia, such a big area covered. Viruses, bombs, political nightmares, cat people, weather, tinned chicken!! Best thing to do is just read what you want, and then one day you might come across this book and fancy it.

Tinned chicken *shudders* that’ll do it 😆 you’re right though
