The older reviews are usually a little more vague than newly read reviews, which is fine with me but I would hate to say something that was obviously from another book.<br><br>You're probably right about why it's popular. While dystopian novels have been around since before there was a name for them, this book targeted a book lovers worst fear - a world without books. That's new and scary - especially to those who had never considered the possibility before.~Jennifer~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-15858101944639284262010-06-25T14:41:05.141-04:002010-06-25T14:41:05.141-04:00Was this a re-read for you?I haven't read this...Was this a re-read for you?<br><br>I haven't read this book in a very long time. It is so fuzzy. I remember kind of being bored through it, but that could have been a high school thing. LOL <br><br>I'll have to re-read it soon. I know that it is a highly praised book, but I have never stopped to ask why. Maybe because at the time it was written the concept seemed so new as far as dystopian societies are concerned. *shrugs*Missiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-54013304975450436432010-06-25T14:07:15.617-04:002010-06-25T14:07:15.617-04:00@Emidy - The book was short which helped a bit wit...@Emidy - The book was short which helped a bit with struggling through the writing. <br><br>@carolsnotebook - I had to read it. A book about people taking a stand to save books - sounds awesome to most book lovers. I may have expected this book to be the most perfect book on the planet, hence my disappointment.~Jennifer~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-69156871159828755312010-06-25T14:00:57.276-04:002010-06-25T14:00:57.276-04:00This is one I feel like I should want to read, but...This is one I feel like I should want to read, but just don't care about really.carolsnotebookhttp://carolsnotebook.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-82229571230911941502010-06-25T13:35:46.069-04:002010-06-25T13:35:46.069-04:00Hm, I'm on the fence with this one.

You may love it and need to own a copy. I liked the premise, but the style wasn't my taste.~Jennifer~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-41545973059830025742010-06-25T13:14:37.491-04:002010-06-25T13:14:37.491-04:00I was thinking of reading this for the Dystopian C...I was thinking of reading this for the Dystopian Challenge.
