I'm sad to say that I could not finish this book. I usually love dystopian books, but I could not understand how the world in this book works.Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. If you can get past the gross factor, this is a powerful dystopian.Set in a dystopic future, calories have become currency. In the farms, girls are raised to be meat, and manipulated by fear mongering women. In the farms, ordering an A ration, means that a fellow girl is killed and processed. Cynthia, accused of ordering an A ration is beaten by the other girls in the farm. In revenge, she orders A ration after A ration, forcing the deaths of a whole floor of girls. In punishment, she is force fed A ration after A ration by Ms. Glennoc. When the farm owner finds out, she turns out Ms. Glennoc and Cynthia to the streets. This was a very odd world. I wish much more had been explained about the system. I spent most of the book cringing, yet I kept reading because I needed to know what happened next. I'm not sure I would re-read this book, but I would pick up another book by this author. Overall, 3 out of 5 stars. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I received a copy as an Early Reviewer.Maybe I'm jaded from watching and reading too much horror, but I didn't find this to be as shocking as a lot of other people did. There certainly is plenty of gore, and I can see how some might even consider it gratuitous, but it seemed rather par for the course for me. The story feels a bit like a typical grimdark dystopian, though it stands out for being entirely focused on female characters (in this world, all men are dead). I found the world-building to be frustratingly vague. Overall this is the kind of book I would enjoy reading in the moment, but not one that will particularly stick with me down the line.

"Cynthia and Imeld have always lived in the Apartments. A world where every calorie is rationed and the girls who live there are forced to weigh their own hunger against the lives of the others living in the building. It's a world where the threat of the Wet Room and Ms. Lion always lingers, and punishments are doled out heavily both by the Women who oversee them and the other girls. When Cynthia is wrongly accused of eating an A ration which leads to the death of another girl, her peers punish her harshly. In seeking revenge, she is forced from the only home she has ever known, out into the broader world with one of the Women -- Ms. Glennoc -- who has tormented her for years. Hunger mixes with politics, intrigue, and social status, and Cynthia needs to figure it out quickly if she's going to survive and make it back to the Apartments to save Imeld. With her friend and Ms. Glennoc gone, Imeld is lost. Ms. Tuttle forces her to step into Ms. Glennoc's shoes, taking on the role of a Woman in charge of all the girls, the punishments, and the Wet Room. The new role feels wrong, especially as Ms. Tuttle's behavior becomes more and more erratic. Imeld can't turn her back on the other girls in the Apartments, but how can she save them when she isn't sure how to save herself? If they rebel against Ms. Tuttle and the other Women, will they starve?"--Back cover. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
