The Blue Ticket Book Review
Feminist Dystopian have always been a favorite book category for me. After all, my favorite book is The Handmaid's Tale. After reading several books of this genre I have developed various tastes and opinions. The book, for example, although not me favorite out of the many that I have read, has made an impact all the same. Reminiscent of The Handmaid's Tale in many aspect but not as harsh perhaps. The main character, Calla, is a complex character with a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts that can be hard to comprehend. She is not a character you fall in love with, but one you can understand. The story itself has plot-holes and questions scattered throughout. For example, why are these blue-ticket girls sent out into the wilderness to fend for themselves? What happens to the white ticket girls? And what happens to the family that the girls leave behind? Although these are a few of my questions left unanswered by the end of the book, you don't contemplate as much while you are reading. Mackintosh's writing is filled with action and thrilling moments that catch you off guard and snatch your attention. Overall, the perspective this book entails is incredibly interesting and unique in it's ow way. Definitely a must read for those who love not only dystopian books, but feminist dystopian.
