Praiseworthy Pages

Reader Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (3/5 stars)

While many people had to read this book in high school, I was never assigned it, so this was my first time interacting with this novel in any way. I can definitely see why it’s such a popular classic, why so many libraries have banned this novel due to the disturbing similarities to today’s world that it captures. I definitely recommend this book to intellectual readers of high school age and older.

Language: 6/10 (Occasional swearing).
Sex: 5/10 (Common references to and non-graphic scenes containing sex).
Violence and gore: 5/10 (Not detailed or extensive).

Plot: 7/10 (Fascinating and eerily relevant to this day and age!)
Characters: 5/10 (Flat and a bit unrealistic, but I still rooted for them!)
Writing style: 6/10 (It’s a little less flowery and scene-dense than I usually like, but I still enjoyed it!)

Genre: Young adult literature, new adult literature, adult literature, dystopian fiction
Potential triggers: Prostitution, torture, betrayal, etc.
Is this book part of a series? No.
I would recommend this book to intellectual readers 16+.
