The Heart Goes Last

This is awful. It's so bad that I genuinely thought she was writing this for a laugh. I have read my fair share of badly written books and 'badly written' is a generous description for this.

It's worse than 50 Shades of Grey. That should speak volumes.

In this 'dystopia' there's every dystopian stereotype out there exaggerated to comical levels. There is an all-knowing big brother system, organ harvesting, baby blood sucking, lobotomised sex humans, sex robots which come in all shapes and sizes (including Elvis-bots and Marilyn-bots) and more.

The main characters are comically sex-crazed and one-sided. Stan can only think about humping women even in the middle of a potentially deadly mission. Charmaine is so so stupid that she's practically a robot already. The whole plot makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I still don't understand why Phil had to seduce Charmaine and I definitely don't understand why Jocelyn had to sleep with Stan.

Save yourself some time. Skip this.
