Little Brother (Little Brother, #1)

2.5 Stars
Well that had a whole lot of 'splaining throughout which, whilst necessary, made for some long dull moments in this YA dystopia.
I know this has been very popular but I honestly feel like it hasn't aged well. The main character makes lots of pervy comments about girls and says he can't hug his kidnapped, injured and traumatised male friend because guys don't hug each other. I think we have moved past that mentality as a society right? On the positive side, I really liked the way the dystopic elements developed and how things became quite brutal quite quickly. Just okay for me.
