My 3rd time trying to start this book.
Holy shit SJM, at least let me get to know the main character before you tell me the entire state and history of the world.

Caryn Everyone I know (myself included) who has read CC agrees that the early chapters will leave you the MOST confused you've ever been in your life.

My tip for you is to literally just roll with it. It's ok if you don't understand districts, or zones, or leadership hierarchy, or the billions of characters you meet. If you read a section twice, and still don't understand it, just move forward.

I promise the important bits will come together later!
