Trigger warnings: Ableism
6/10, an original and interesting sci-fi and realistic contemporary YA novel. The details on the page are amazing, and the main character Piper is complex and flawed, but she makes some bad decisions, which landed her in prison, and I can't excuse that. Also the world building started to fall apart, the dystopia was so easy to fix, just grow food and that's it? Really, that's so convenient, I don't know how the government didn't realise this, and why they couldn't just make renewable energy in an oil crisis? At least I learned how Deaf people were treated and how they lived, that's one good part of the book. The end was ok when Piper finally gets accepted into her job and I got to see her character develop when she learns Auslan and celebrates her Deafness rather than just using lip reading and the character dynamic between her and the other character Marley was good.
If you want a more convincing and terrifying dystopia, try Fahrenheit 451 or 1984 instead of this book.… (lisätietoja)
