STAR RATINGS GUIDE
This is to dystopia what Station Eleven is to the post apocalyptic genre. Beautiful, Funny and Scarily Prescient. Inches From Reality
THE BIRDICT
💛 This is dreamy and beautiful yet somehow also funny and snarky. Zumas’s writing is a character in itself; playfully poetic and full of unusual metaphors.
❤️️ The five women (one a girl) we follow each face different challenges as a result of living in an America where abortion is illegal. Because this is a dystopia. It is speculative. It couldn’t possibly hap… Forget I said anything.
💚 Some characters are likable, some I loved to hate, but they were all fascinating and believable. And the plot is one of those where all comes full circle in a smart, satisfying way.
PS I hope my zombie books don’t start hopping on the life imitating art bandwagon…
SQUAWKING THE TALK
🎧 The performances are purposefully dreamy and pensive. For the more serious parts, this matches the tone of the book. And it’s pointedly incongruous with the comic aspects, somehow making them funner. Loved these narrators,
🎧 You need to focus on this to get the nuances of the story, Having said that, I felt lost at times, but managed to get back on track without needing to go back and relisten.
