I started this one a little apprehensive because of all the controversy surrounding it, but I like to see things for myself and not just believe someone's subjective interpretation. While it didn't have so much -isms and -fobias many claimed it has (a lot of things were taken out of context or ignored when opposite was mentioned), it still felt like the author is forcing his opinions through characters. They didn't feel believable or developed, and it was taking me out of the story. I don't like that, no matter what those opinions are - I'm ok with everything in books as long as it serves the story. I feel like it didn't in this one. The complete story was ok, nothing to write home about, especially since I went in knowing most of the spoilers. I really liked the concept of images telling the story. In the end, I neither recommend or not recommend this book, it's a pretty fast read and I don't really care about it after finishing.
