Prvi deo odličan, drugi prilično patetičan, jednostran i mlak. Očekivala sam snažnu političku i društvenu kritiku, ali je sve ispalo tanko. Jedva sam je dovršila, neke pasuse sam preskakala. Moralo je bolje. Moglo je bolje.

Tender, heartbreaking, at times horrifying, but hopeful in the end. Rare qualities for a science fiction dystopia. You will like this if you liked Kazuo Ishiguro’s sci-fi (Never Let Me Go, Klara And The Sun). It’s a book one cries at the end of, with relief, and sadness, heart full.
