The reason I chose this book off the list is that I like dystopian stories a lot weather it be Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep better known as Blade Runner or Brazil, mainly being I like stories of a crumbling society that the citizens are oblivious too because they often turn into a political satire as a warning message that could happen. Also I like the idea of an alternate universe with an alternate history, because it's fun to see how things change , to give an example they drink Croca Cola instead of Coke. I also thought the title was pretty cool because that it was brought me too the book because with a title like Maggot Moon I thought it sounded like that was going to be more science fiction and it kind of is but isn't. The connections I make with the character is that Standish in the story is an outcast that everyone thinks is weird and when I was younger I wasn't very social and was very shy and was kind of an outcast based on what I like.
The people I would recommend this book to would be people who like Dystopian stories like Brazil which is the vibe I got off this story, I would also recommend it to people who like a slow burn because the story while having short chapters isn't the paced fast and doesn't pick up till about half way through the book. Over all I liked the book and I am sure that some people would call this book boring so you have to go into it with the mind set that this isn't the most action packed book and at some points can get predictable if your familiar with the dystopian genre. I also want to make it clear this book is not for everyone because the way the chapters are which is each one last two to three short pages and goes back and fourth between the past and present, so if your annoyed by that then you will hate this book.
