I got this book as part of the amazon vine program for free in exchange for an honest review.The version I got was an advanced readers copy. I may have some spoilers in my review.The books interesting. I didn't realize until a couple pages in that the husband was the main narrator. I've read sci-fi before and I don't know why this surprised me, maybe I just read a lot of YA with the main narrator being the female. Who knows? The story is told in the form of stream of consciousness. I don't find that method of writing used often, so it was refreshing, although I was admittedly taken aback when he every so often said that he and his wife "f@*ked." Don't think this book is geared towards too young a demographic.Either was the journey to this so called transparent city was interesting. I found a lot of vague mentions of "the enemy" and neighbors going missing due to "snitching." It sadly reminded me of details I learned about the Holocaust. People going missing in Nazi German one day and everyone accepting that they're gone or at least not saying anything for fear of retribution.I enjoy reading the relationship between the husband and his wife. You can tell he very much loves her, almost idolizes her and it's endearing to see their relationship thrive despite the potential loss of their children and their struggle to survive a war in the beginning of the story.The transparent city is just sooo weird. The fact that literally everything except books and food are see through is crazy. The poop fight at his job was disgusting. I don't care if you can't smell it, that's just naastyyy.And as far as the style the writer chose an interesting concept to go with, too. Transparency is all people talk about with government and society and even relationships. The idea that openness shouldn't be feared and we shouldn't have anything to hide from one another. And the author literally brings that to life, albeit vague associations to an enemy that turned out to be possibly the good guys in the war. It's scary, however, because the authors world is not as transparent as you think. Emotional transparency is obviously frowned upon. It's a nightmare that the main character/narrator can't even complain or cry or express his true feelings. He's literally trapped in his own body. It's hidden behind a medically forced facade given to him by a doctor. And it's heart breaking and infuriating that he's slowly losing his own true feelings too. And it just goes down from there.This was a good read. Just from those things. I won't spoil the rest of it. I'd definitely recommend this a as a read though.The book came in on time and in good condition.
