Like you, very few people ever read it, or they started and then stopped because it was so overdone. She simply kept repeating the premise over and over for so many pages that many folks shrugged as well.

It was a repetitious political polemic dressed up as a terrible piece of literature.

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World or George Orwell’s 1984 or Animal Farm were much better because they communicated their ideas better.
