Daligault Célia celiadalig24a0 — This book is so fucking ridiculous. Which is a shame, because Oliver is a talented writer. A bit too fond of the purple prose, but with a better plot very enjoyable. And her insertion of little rhymes and “history” book excerpts were nicely written and entertaining (the prose quality is what earns this book two stars instead of one). BUT! This. Book. Is. STUPID. In a dystopian America, love is a disease. Why? WHY!?!? No explanation. It’s obviously nothing more than a plot device since it has no holding in logic whatsoever. Is all love cured? What about love of country? Isn’t patriotism one of the main things that government tries to breed in its citizens? How is it a good idea to ensure that parents will never attach to their children? How has this not created a generation of sociopaths? How are there not more murders? Haven't studies shown that people without strong bonds die younger? Is it just strong emotions? But the citizens are not overly zombie-like and don’t seem any more prone to passivity than any other dystopian citizens. Is it just passion? But then there will be no creativity/innovation and society will stagnate and be quickly taken over by all those countries who did not destroy themselves out of sheer stupidity. If you don't know how to world-build, Oliver, don't even try. It's just embarrassing. What does eliminating romantic love get you other than a book about two whiny teenagers? Seriously, if Lena is supposed to be the posterchild of why love is good, then the cure was the best thing the government ever thought of, because ugh. She is beyond dumb and reckless and does shitty things, like forget that she came to save her best friend in the whole world from a deadly raid because her love interest took off his shirt (to wrap around her injured leg, of course). She actually has not a single thought about her bestest friend while hiding with her love interest, despite the fact that her best friend could be dying or dead at that very moment. Love makes you stupid, indeed. Also, this is a girl who has seen the devastating effects having a "traitor" as a relation can have on the entire family. And yet she starts planning to run away with her love interest with nary a thought for her loved ones. She claims she loves her cousin Gracie, but never stops to think about the fact that Gracie will be stigmatized forever for having a traitor-father AND a traitor-cousin. If Gracie wasn't tainted before, she sure the hell is now. Lena thinks of asking her best friend to join her as an afterthought, and never considers Gracie. It's all about Alex, Alex, Alex, his hair is so prreetttyy. I actually was so frustrated by the stupidity of the entire plot that I couldn’t get into it and just started skimming it because I. Did. Not. CARE. It was just so, so dumb. asdglkjhdsfgoihua09f8!!1!!! (<--sound of my brain imploding from frustration) AND HOW DID ANYONE THINK THIS PLOT DESERVED NOT ONE BUT THREE BOOKS?!? WHY?!? WHHHYYYYYY?!?!?!?! SAVE YOURSELF WHILE YOU CAN, OLIVER!! P.S. Oh, and it’s set in Portland, Maine, which was confusing. Because Oliver just kept saying “Portland” and I thought maybe it was Oregon. But then the city had a beach, so no. I don’t think setting it in my Portland would’ve made me like the book any more, though. Too much bitterness over the dumb.

Giacomo Palazzi giacomopalazzi — Good mystery. I really enjoyed it.
