Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
This book is meant to be a fictitious portrayal of racism in the modern age. However, it merely felt bland and anyone would be better off reading real, meaningful events in the real world. The characters were one-sided and unlikeable and the plot was non-existent.
I thought this book would be very interesting, yet it felt like nothing major was happening even halfway through the book. Overall, this was quite underwhelming.
