The Word Exchange

It was good but felt a little above my head at times. The concepts stuck with me though and I find myself thinking about it often.

Sooo... let's start by saying I agree with the people who complained: the footnotes are a pain, especially if you read on a kindle, and Anana is a bit of an idiot. Also, at some point Bart's (and everyone else's) exchanges were really hard to follow; I know it was meant to prove a point, but seriously, it got tiresome.
Apart from that, or despite that, I should say, I really enjoyed the book. I absolutely loved the main idea, I think Bart is one of the sweetest dystopian characters ever, and the idiot's Family kinda proves why she's an idiot after all - the mom, the stepdad, the grandparents, the father, they are all either slightly lunatic or just plain silly, so it's entertaining. The love for print exudes from the pages, and even when the characters are aphasic, they still use good prose.
