Review and Summary of the Dystopian Novel Rondo

Final Say on the Dystopian Novel Rondo
I personally rate this story a 7.5 out of 10 because of the diverse imaginary plots presented in the book. A journey which starts with joy and excitement transforms to constant struggles and hopelessness. However, the reading displays a slow trend and less exciting for someone who enjoys a thrill. The philosophical approach used in the book allows for enlightening but also fascinating reading material. If you are a philosophy lover then you will enjoy it for sure. If you ask me about re-reading it then my answer would probably be Yes, but after gaining some familiarity with the philosophical thinking methods and understandings.
