Title: Is there a point?
Review: I started reading this book because it was categorized under "dystopian" in some reading list and the reviews seemed to be generous. But I can't, for the life of me, figure out what the point to the book is. The stories seen to barely intermingle, and the stories themselves seem to have vague plots to them that I can't get interested in. I trudged my way through the first story, hoping it would get better as some have said, and forced my way through the second, hoping still. I got through the third story, but just barely and skipped the fourth because I'm so sick of the change in writing styles. The 6th story was interesting enough once I figured out the new language but as I'm reading the center story, I'm trying to figure out why I'm even bothering. As far as I can tell, this book is just short stories that kind of intermingle. I don't even really like short stories that much.
Is this product review negative?
