really liked it
bookshelves: classics, fiction, dystopian

Without warning that this book is fiction, you could believe that the terrifying story might have been real. The writing captivates imagination; emotion and mystery are immersive. Even in the end, you are left wondering what happened to the narrator and the rest of characters.
This book is also an invitation to appreciate the privileges we have nowadays, an invitation to question the rules a society might have, and an invitation to explore the immutable human conditions such as desire.

Ying Ying Elyse, this is very kind of you! I hope you enjoyed your time with your daughter and boyfriend.

It is my greatest pleasure to connect with you. You are very thoughtful and friendly :-)

This book is amazing! More than creepy, I delight in the beautiful language and the non-linear narrative. The contrast between what was and what is really awakens us to our own fortune.

This book surely would be great for a re-read; whenever you desire to lose sleep for a few nights haha ;-) I hope I'll be finishing this soon.


Ying Ying Wow! I cannot imagine reading a book at 3 am. The idea appeals me, but I'm not sure I would be fit enough to absorb the text and dive in the story.
