+                    read most of this in two long session while we were in
+                    turkey. after a bit of a slow start i liked the spin on
+                    "dystopian future-not-future society"; the world building
+                    is reminiscent of handmaid's tale, but i felt like there
+                    was more exploration of the inner workings of
+                    <i>why</i>
+                    society is that way; the feminist context shines through
+                    especially towards the end, when the plot only works because the
+                    men are all arrogant assholes, which was satisfying but a
+                    bit too one-dimensional.
