Unlike Fruitonica I haven't read anything from this author before so I didn't really know what to expect. I found it really depressing, and extremely Nineteen Eighty-Four-ish (George Orwell). A lot of it felt a bit too typical (suppressed society, rebellious individuals take a stand to be themselves, etc) but the fact that they got shot and everything resumed as normal was really depressing and I think has a strong message. But then again, this message I feel as though I've read countless numbers of times in other texts, like Nineteen Eighty-Four... which is excruciatingly similar I thought! But overall I did enjoy it and it was an interesting read.
