Lolita has actually been on my list of things to buy for awhile now.
That would be superior taste, mind you.
LOL!
Oh, his stories were fine enough, I guess. What bothered me about them is that they exude a faint stench which I associate with (counter)propaganda. That and a "I'm a serious man doing serious things" attitude.
Give me an example of what you mean.
The best thing about ACO is "Nadsat" (Wiki is your friend). It makes the book. I haven't read HT. Some people praise it as a masterpiece, others say it's crap written by a feminazi. Care to make a comment or three when you've finished it?
Yeah, absolutely.
I liked him. Of course there were a few times when he needed a swift kick in the ass, but.... And I wholly believe that I-330 loved him. His problem was that he was torn between doing what was expected of him and doing what he, instinctually, knew to be right. Subversive bastard, that Zamyatin.
Hmm... so do you think she started out to use him as the builder of the Integral, or do you think she loved him from the start? I don't see how anyone could love him- he was brainwashed. He was too smart to be, but he was. The only reason he even considered betraying the State was because he had fallen in love with her.

The problem with post-apocalyptic stories is that there are so many which are utter crap.

I never thought of the Forever War as Dystopian but I guess it could be called that
