This is already happening in Afghanistan now. So it's not that farfetched.

[gilda_elise]

That's certainly true, which is what made the book so frightening.

There was a time (not that long ago) when I also would have said 'this could never happen'. But as you say now . . . It's a really scary thought. I can see why you it drew you in.

[gilda_elise]

That's it, exactly. What we're seeing all around us, it's frightening how much it tracks with the book. Especially here in the States.

[nakeisha]

It really is. Now I'd say especially here in the UK. Which is terribly sad for both countries as we are thinking that way.

I hadn't heard anything about things getting bad that way in the UK, even though I read the Guardian. It seems no place is truly save.

That sounds like a great book, and yet one that I wouldn't be able to read right now because it would make me so angry.

[gilda_elise]

It certainly does do that. Especially the way things are going right now. Still hoping we can turn things around, though.

That does sound like a very harrowing book. But very good.

[gilda_elise]

It's very much both. I thought well worth the read.
