Great addition to the Hunger Games series

Revisado: 03-21-25

The story is wonderful and does an excellent job of fleshing out some more characters, moving the plot ahead at a good pace, and expounding on ethical situations and modern concerns with society and governments. The Hunger Games series is destined to be a classic - and rightfully so! The narrator was perfect for the book, and I really enjoyed listening to him read.

When I was listening, there were a couple of points where the audio messed up (once, in the middle of a sentence, it said "Sunrise on the Reaping, 4" and another time it repeated the same two sentences twice (I even went back 1 minute to see if it had just glitched, but it did it again)

Ok thriller

Revisado: 08-12-24

This was ok, I felt like the end was unnecessarily explained and rushed-why did it suddenly become an omniscient view and explain her process/history? It started as an ok idea and then just didn’t get any depth.

Horrifying but good

Revisado: 07-11-24

So many ethical implications, I wish it didn’t had to go into so much detail on parts, but it did help build up the horrific nature of this setting and society.

Great info, hard narration

Revisado: 01-30-24

Great info, but I had to speed up the narration by a lot to try to get past the random stopping in the middle of a sentence, pacing, and infections. Really loved the book, and it brought up many key points I hadn’t considered before.

Beautiful

Revisado: 12-15-23

Often books are about extreme circumstances, this felt like an average (although wealthy) story, the ability to see how multigenerational trauma can be deep and impactful without being so extreme. I found the book beautiful, I loved to see the small connections to each other that even the characters didn’t realize (for example, two women with a generation between them both going to the sea with the secrecy of a first pregnancy).

Some good ideas, lots of privilege

Revisado: 12-01-23

This feels like a Steve Jobs love fest, also many of his ideas only work if you live in a bigger city with access to stores immediately for needs. And the privilege of being able-bodied and single. And saying his girlfriend broke up with him because “I haven’t become who I want in minimalism” made me gag, no, some people just aren’t compatible! There were some good points,but the length of the book and frequent other problems detracted from them.

Good book

Revisado: 02-13-23

It isn’t my favorite book of the author, but I did enjoy it. It does get confusing in audiobook more than it would reading a printed book, but not too much
