A review by bookjerm
This Perfect Day by Ira Levin

2.0

A non violent utopian society run by an omnipotent computer called Uni. If not for the mediocre writing/plotting, this could have been interesting. The concept was intriguing. Part 1 was hard to get through--so much was going on, and barely anything was explained. I hate when I have to struggle to figure out where/when I am. Add to that the simple style of the writing--he said and she saids galore!--and it makes for a very rough start. The plot, however, does pick up in Part 2, with some interesting character developments, that makes for a more interesting read. In the end, this one was just ok for me. It was a quick, mediocre read. Watch the movie equilibrium. I enjoyed that more than I enjoyed this, and they share quite a few similarities.
