I have such a huge TBR pile, and there are tons that I want to read. When one just doesn't fit, it doesn't fit.Jaime Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102596597333629396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-23358013097746037952012-12-21T17:46:36.310-05:002012-12-21T17:46:36.310-05:00To be honest I've only ever heard of this book...To be honest I've only ever heard of this book two weeks ago by accident.

If I ever get the chance to read this, it will definitely be for the science and the satire, but not for the story. I don't like implausible plots any more than you do, but I <i>am</i> very curious about the premise of this dystopia. We already say that there's "something in the water" all the time, so Cameron Stracher must have at least tapped into the right paranoid vein.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-68692787429951870622012-05-08T21:00:23.992-04:002012-05-08T21:00:23.992-04:00Thanks for review.
