Read the book because I love the movie. Unfortunately, most all of the interesting and complex themes, situations, and relationships from the movie are not present in the book. Imagine my frustration when I finally realized there were going to be no fugees. Shout out to the team that adapted this story for the movie, they really were spinning straw into gold.

1.0

I didn't enjoy this book. The concept of a world where humans are incapable of procreating is interesting. But Theo is just a straight up horrible human being and I hated being in his head. Even though the whole appeal of the book is its dystopian setting, there was very little plot movement.
