Very powerful message about government censorship. This book represents very well what a lack of free media will cause. While reading it, I couldn't help but connect it to the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It read almost like an allegory for it. I would strongly recommend you read this book and learn more about government censorship. To a certain extent, the men upstairs still control what we can and can't say online. Amazingly illustrates a future reality not far from our own. One of the best books I've read in my life.
Definitely the most influential book I've read. Some content might be seen as distasteful, a little bit of violence but it doesn't affect the story. Teen, 16 years old Written by RussianSpeaker August 30, It's confusing, and can be pretty hard to read.
That said, the message is a great one, and one that helped me get back into reading books. As far as the violence, it isn't gory or even that bothersome. The most bothersome "violent" thing is the complete lack of inquiry into, or notice of, characters' disappearances.
