pineconek 's review for:

American War by Omar El Akkad
1.0

I really don't like giving ratings this low to books but this book and I just didn't click. There were so many inconsistencies, strange narrative choices, and things that felt so off that I couldn't suspend disbelief. I was always conscious that I was reading a book and found myself profoundly dissatisfied and annoyed. My bar for emotional near future dystopias is quite high and this didn't hit it for me.
