Disagree on a few points but really agree with the thought that Buddha was the original Socialist

It's an easy read so far..

It's certainly interesting.. but the story seems quite familiar to me, having read so many such books before..

Not enjoying this one at all. The mystery of other societies is gone and they all seem to resemble each other in being poor copies of free human society with one or the other human trait banned/suppressed.

So well written! Excellent premise. I'm really curious about the way it comes about..

Man.. am I sucker for a good dystopian book!

She tells it like a fictional story and it reads really well. It's lucid, engaging and I'm really hooked!

People have been complaining about how long this manga is but I'm enjoying every bit..

Fantastic writing!

Reads like a young adult novel and I'm loving it

Really interesting so far..

This book blows away so many myths and clarifies so much of this country's recent political history.. starting from Chelmsford Reforms in 1917... mind blowing read!

Flat and stereotypical characters and clear fatphobia.

A bit tedious to read.

I've only picked it up because of the name of the book and for the sheer number of times that Ira Glass has recommended it.

I don't remember Arabian Nights like this. I remember only the stray stories that I had read here and there.. it's really fascinating. Stories within stories..

It's really fun to read medical mysteries, makes me want to start reading fictional mystery books again. Oliver Sacks is a really good story-teller. However, I do feel there is a detachment and dehumanization of the patients as mere objects of wonder.
