One book for the whole community to read and discuss.
For this reason, our library book club will be discussing this year's selection in September. And I am scheduled to lead that discussion.
So...I decided to read the book now to get a preview.
Well, I am not thrilled with this choice. It is a dystopian novel. I tried very hard to ignore my dislike for this genre. It is not the most dismal that I have read, but I still didn't find anything of interest in the novel. I realize that dystopian novels are often cautionary tales, warning us of a possible outcome if we do not pay more attention to the serious issues in the world.
I have time to mull over the themes in the book and hopefully come up with an interesting discussion in September.
A great feature of O.B.O.C. is the opportunity to hear the author.
