Son of the Revolution-Ian

Son of the Revolution is kind of a boring book so far. It has started to pick up a little bit but the beginning was a bit boring. Just like a Thousand Splendid Suns, the story is a bit boring but the amount of facts and brutal honest is making up for the lackadaisical story. The fact that people were treated so harshly and labeled rightist over such trivial and simple things is ridiculous. Especially since the Party asked for feedback and essentially labeled anyone who responded as rightist. This label was so harsh and it pretty much branded and scarred a person and their family for life. It was a really corrupt and terrible system. Also, the drought and famine the people suffered showed their reliance on the peasants the city memvers always looked down upon. If one area gets screwed up the whole system gets screwed up and is ruined. Another thing that was shocking was the marriage for financial reasons. It just seems so odd that marriage would used to strengthen a ranking or be done strictly to get by with money. In our culture marriage is something two people who truly love each other do. Overall this book is full of facts and history which is a plus, but the slow story is a downside but it is starting to finally pick up!
