DNF @ 16%.

Four days in and I've only read 16%? That just shows how not into the story I am. If I was I'd have finished it by now.

I struggled from the start, I didn't gel with the style or the storyline and the changing of viewpoint from one chapter to the next just annoyed me.

It might just be that I wasn't in the mood for a dystopian story or I just might not like it at all. Either way I wont be coming back to it.

"Terry Gilliam’s masterpiece proves he is the only true heir to Fellini (and Salvador Dalì as well). Brazil is over-the-top, terrifying, funny, and moving. A hilarious and violent dystopian tale of the future using elements of the past, it strangely seems more and more like our present. Terrorism, surveillance, cosmetic surgery, hacking, and authoritarian control: Gilliam’s prescience is astounding. Ian Holm turns in one of cinema’s great supporting roles as Mr. Kurtzman, Jonathan Pryce’s sniveling and cowardly boss. And it has one of the most crushing and haunting endings in movie history."

In a world without disease, without hunger and without death Scythes are the only ones who are able and granted to keep the population under control.
Two teenagers become a scythe's apprentice and neither if them want the job, but a situation comes about where one of them will die if they don't win against the other.
I really enjoyed this dystopian fiction. The concept was brilliant. The character development subtle yet effective. I was engrossed every step of the way. I cannot wait to read the next installment!
