I dont actively look for Dystopian either, I havent read many at all...<br /><br />I think the cover does want to give a lighter idea... just like the tone of the book... the cover does match the book's tone hehe<br /><br />thanks luv!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029884909672059641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153478020914909915.post-3304311184991566552011-04-18T04:47:21.953-03:002011-04-18T04:47:21.953-03:00Interesting.

I don't know why.<br /><br />This cover irks me. It doesn't really convey the whole dystopia theme to me... I actually think the cover is a bit light-hearted? Or is that just me?<br /><br />Great review, hon (as always!)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440460463119645788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153478020914909915.post-82057666914634348112011-04-18T02:24:54.932-03:002011-04-18T02:24:54.932-03:00For some reason I just could not get into this boo...For some reason I just could not get into this book!

I was interested in the satirical aspect of this one, a light hearted touch sounded good, but I've heard that the religious stuff was heavy handed and I do find extreme religious views off putting, so I'm planing to give it a miss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153478020914909915.post-70453508837204440532011-04-17T21:57:10.874-03:002011-04-17T21:57:10.874-03:00@Stacy
