A book with a new and fresh idea that could have had much more potential. However, I feel like it wasn't carried through to the end and some history to why the situation is the way it is there was pretty missing. The reader is just thrown into the plot without any explanation and will be expected to understand everything.
As a dystopian sci-fi, the book didn't really impress me with anything other than the idea and it read very quickly due to the short chapters.
I kinda see where the author was pointing with the story. I see today's greedy and hypocritical society in the book. A society so greedy that they “eat” themselves out of greed.
But what spoiled the reading for me the most is the translation. Stylistically, I loathed it and felt like I was reading a fan fiction story on Wattpad. For me, this translation looks like it's from an elementary school kid who doesn't have a sufficiently developed vocabulary yet.
But despite the terrible translation, I give the book a better 2 stars.
