Chatterbox: Blab About Books

i cannot explain this book. i can't explain the feeling of reading it or finishing it. i can barely explain the characters or plot. and yet it is so incredible and impressive and awesome to me. it's confusing, yeah. i can't pretend i understand a whole lot of it. but the way it's written? it's amazing. and i feel like even with the little bit i understood of the book, i got much more out of it than i would from understanding another entire book. if that makes sense? i don't know. the writing style is just really really good and makes you feel like you're there, in the book, right next to the protagonist. we're reading it in school and i read ahead to finish it and i'm still trying to process it. i won't explain the plot much because it's sort of controversial- it's banned in a couple schools and some kids in my class have to read a different book because their parents didn't want them to read it. i'm not sure why. it's really interesting though. it feels like i could re-read it a million times and still understand something new each time. it was published in the 1950s but it feels way ahead of its time. it's a dystopian society and some of the things they talk about are scarily similar to today's society. anyways, i definitely reccomend it to any of you. it's not an easy book though. all the people i know who are reading think it's super confusing, and i agree, but i still think it's 100% worth it. if you've read it feel free to say your thoughts on it because i'm really curious about what other people think about it- my brother told me it was really boring but (as i'm sure you figured out by now haha) i disagree. anyways, sorry for the rant. it's just a REALLY good book :D (in my opinion. if you've read it and didn't like it that's totally cool- sorry if i sound like i'm trying to force my opinion on anyone, that is not my intention)
