This was my first time listening to the audio version and it was well done. I have read the physical book a few times and thought to change up how I read it and it was worth it. If you are looking for a dystopian world building experience this novel is a good throwback. It does go into a lot of information, but it does it in a very well written way that does not make you feel that the pacing is too slow.
I know many people who love this book and it was very surprising to me just how terribly bored I was reading it. The word choice, the endless dialogues, the descriptions... The whole tone of the book feels somehow condescending too. The world was original and interesting, for sure. I just wish things happened faster or any of the characters were relatable to me. Honestly, I’ve read history textbooks that were more thrilling than this.
