At the start it was a bit confusing, but across the book you manage to read through the author's poetry and metaphors. I liked the story, and it is a reminder of how we should rebel and don't succumb to simplicity and conformity. It will definitely push me to read more, and appreciate that even if books can burn, the knowledge they give is way more than what I can get if I stay in the same place, staring into a screen, talking with my "family".
