Lorry and anyone else,
I'm curious about what you liked about this book. I really wanted to like it, but
it seemed so repetitious that I put it in the resell pile and wouldn't recommend
it. The main character was interesting and the premise and women's underground
was fascinating. But most of the book seemed to be a platform for tedious
repetition of the main ideological points. Not that I disagreed with it, I just
didn't want to hear them over and over. I don't have the book in front of me and
read it some time ago, so I don't remember the details of what frustrated me.
It's not that I wanted more action, just less talk(!) Anyone else have this
reaction?
On some reflection, it's possible a sequel could avoid this problem.
