Well, I wanted to read this because I quite like the dystopia type theme. It's not really that it was a bad book, but more that I couldn't help but laugh at some parts of it. It reminded me a lot of when you were a child and you wrote a story about the future. The images I had in my head were exactly how I might have illustrated that story written by a child. Saying that, as unbelievable as I found it, it's a frightening reminder of the contrast between certain ‘worlds' that are present in our world today and the ignorance of millions about how different life is for many from our technologically saturated world. This was the first book I've ever read that I predicted the ending, which I purposely try to avoid doing when reading if it seems predictable but this one was unavoidable. But at least I can tick it off as read now!
