In order to keep myself active in this game I’ve chosen to create a visual response to each book I read instead of writing a traditional review. I will still rate each book and give a few words in response.
Thought I’d start off the year with books I missed as a kid. This one didn’t do too much for me, though I think it definitely would have if I had read it when I was young. At this point I’ve absorbed enough of this genre that every plot twist was broadcast from the beginning.
I found some of it’s imagery to be intriguing, and the story was entertaining enough for a one day read, but ultimately I wasn’t satisfied. As a kid, the outline of the society presented here would have been enough to sate my imagination, but having become accustomed to the elaborate world creation of book series such as Harry Potter or Song of Ice and Fire, I found this one lacking.
For my visual response, I tried to explore the book’s theme of coming of age and suddenly seeing what was there all along.
