The book left me feeling disappointed. It's not necessarily terrible, but the story was boring and didn't grab my attention. It was hard to follow, making it difficult to understand what was going on. It felt too short in important parts and too long in irrelevant ones. It jumped around to different things that didn't really matter to the main story. The main idea of the book is that censorship will ruin society. The reasoning behind this is that people get easily offended. I don't think we'll ever reach a point in real life where this exact scenario happens, which makes this book feel like a watered-down version of a dystopian story with a poorly developed world that wasn't fully explained. Also, the characters were uninteresting and failed to draw me in. The main character was like a typical hero, and his wife didn't do much besides showing how messed up the world was. Clarisse was different from everyone else, but that's about it. That's her whole personality. She's just not like everyone else. Overall, the book didn't live up to the hype.
