Vox

It took me two weeks to read this book...which is almost unheard of for me. But after every single chapter, I had to put the book down and not look at it for 24 hours. As an opinionated woman living in 2018, I was enraged reading it - sometimes to the point of almost throwing the book across the room because of how a character acted.

However, the writing and the premise were so well done and thought out, I truly enjoyed reading it...even through my rage. My only reasoning for 4 stars instead of 5 was the ending. No spoilers...I just thought that the end could have been drawn out a little more. At times, it felt rushed...esp considering how thoroughly this horrific world was shown to us at the beginning of the book.

I highly recommend Vox. But maybe don't watch the news the entire time you're reading it...gotta keep your blood pressure down.

Not a perfect book, but it sure made me think. I wish there was a little more backstory, and the ending was a little bit too neat, but overall a very interesting read, especially in the current political climate.

the first part of this book aka the setup was interesting but then it got boring and confusing tbh. can’t recommend but cool idea

The premise isn’t bad. In fact, there is a faint promise at the beginning that the novel might deal with some interesting hypotheses and offer answers to questions (arguably) not yet asked. But that promise vanishes early on and the plot turns into a theatre of self-pity and anger over issues purely fictional with ample descriptions of the protagonist’s occasional erotic escapades. In case it’s unclear—I’m not impressed.

I actually really liked this book more than I thought I would. Although it kind of scary cause I feel like it could happen 😳
