I am
very glad that I listened to the audio version versus reading the book. This is for several reasons – I am so over
dystopian, but had never listened to one so it was a good change of pace; the
story was read by two narrators which I love because it distinguishes between
the characters and enhances the story; and I have been driving for long periods
of time lately so I was able to focus on the story. I don’t know if it is
because I am female, but I definitely enjoyed Cassie’s version and narration
better than the male characters. I believe the high popularity of this
particular dystopian novel is because of the alternating perspectives between
the female and male characters, so it held the interest of both teen boys and
girls. Curious as to way, Yancy started and ended with Cassie’s perspective
though. I would probably have given the book
a higher rating myself IF I read this before reading so many other similar dystopian
novels since I didn’t find too much unique about it.
