Lame, boring and other buzz words to save you from this snoozer
It was absolutely boring. With Kindle First I wake up every morning and look forward to the 6 selections to choose from and thought this one looked cool and with the tag of it being dystopian fiction I was ready to be whisked away.... I fell asleep. I literally took a huge nap right after Chapter 6.
To me everything was so cliche and fit right into a box or formula. My favorite review so far starts with a disclaimer that "close minded" people will not enjoy this book. Why insult people into reading a book that you liked? If the book is good say so without attacking others views or feelings. I REALLY disliked this and felt it was a total waste of time.
Was the language crass? Is that why I found the book so bad? This month unequivocally no. The language was foul, a good deal of filth, but it fit in with the sort of vibe/voice the author was going for. If the fbomb is not for you then this book is not for you.
Again, this book just never got interesting and used buzz words to try to show some kind of affinity with the way young adults/teens would communicate with one another in the future. But AI, CGI and n00b ain't it.
Save your Kindle First token and save it for something worthy of your precious time. This Dystopian future was really lame.
