Rezension von Julia Eine Dystopie der anderen Art. Der Fokus liegt auf den Gesprächen und Gefühlen der Protagonisten. Die Absurdität und Sinnlosigkeit des ganzen Unterfangens wird vermittelt ohne allzu viele Hintergrunddetails darzulegen. Der Leser wird über die dystopische Welt größtenteils im Dunkeln gelassen.
Rezension von valentinoI don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that this might have been the best book I ever read. I ate this up and read my way through it like never before. I just couldn’t put it down and if I didn’t have to go to work, I would have finished this even quicker. Probably the most intense, atmospheric and captivating reading experience I’ve ever had. I was walking with them. And King managed to get all the emotions across perfectly. Going into this, I didn’t expect this to resonate on an emotional level as much as it did. This was fucking harrowing and unbelievably sad and tragic. Ever since I started reading, there wasn’t an hour an hour that I didn’t think about it. Every time I had to walk a bit, I thought about how I’d perform. This book owned me for the last couple of days. So yeah, this might be my new favorite book. I can only hope that the upcoming film adaptation won’t suck…
