Muna Hammamy mannosh_9399a0 — What will life be like in the near future? Lauren Destefano’s take on life in "Wither" from “The Chemical Garden Trilogy”, includes death at a young age, kidnapping, pregnant teens (and not by choice, by force), a world of no freedom, and unimaginable terror, pain and suffering. Wither is the first book in a brand-new Trilogy. Rhine lived with her brother, Rowen, and their parents until they died from a new fatal illness which has been capturing the lives of all males at the age of 25, and all females at the age of 20. There are few “first-generation” people left in the world who are 70 and older, and they have either been ignoring the fact that everyone is dying off, or have secretly been trying to find a cure—as they already have for cancer—for this horrific illness. When Rhine is kidnapped along with 15 other girls and chosen to live because she has two beautiful eyes—one blue, one brown—as well has being a gorgeous, well-bred young lady of 16 years of age, she knows she is in for a never-ending night-mare of possible rape, pain and misery. Her servant Gabriel, her new husband, her sister-wives and the original wife of her new husband are all very kind to her, and like her very much. Her father-in-law is and does, not. Rhine becomes suspicious of (possible) horrible experiments that might be going on in the basement of the mansion she is now living in. She accidentally went down to the forbidden basement one day with her new lover and servant, Gabriel, and saw the first-wife’s body being rolled down the hall to be experimented with. The father-in-law must be trying to find out a cure for this awful illness. The other problem in this house-hold is that the garden is a maze, under lock and key, and is almost impossible to escape from. When her husband, Linden, decides that he likes her best, she becomes the new first-wife (the head wife), she receives a key, and along with the key, a new freedom. She finds her way through the maze one day during an awful storm, but gets hit on the forehead by a flying branch and gets caught. Because of the time to think while recovering in bed, she figures out a way to get out, but needs help in order to accomplish the mission. She convinces Gabriel to go with her, and he follows her. The question is, are they able to escape successfully?

Den Gillespie dennyg123814f — ** spoiler alert ** I can't say that this is my favorite Classic read. This was a book club selection. I hadn't read it before. It seems you either love this book or hate it. I was kind of inbetween. It took about 150 pages to really get into the story and the characters. For me, the story was pretty disturbing in the psychological aspects. Emma's deterioration to suicide is heart-breaking. Her total disregard of her child upsetting. I hated watching her change from a hopeful, young girl to a hardened disallusioned woman. I hated it when Hippo-guy was pressured into the surgery on his foot. And then Homais' no-chalant attitude after losing his leg. I can honestly say that I didn't particularly like any of the characters. I can appreciate the author for giving me a glimpse into a world that I couldn't conceive of by modern day standards. To be a woman, in those times, was so stifling. It made me wonder if Flaubert was describing the role of women and using it as device to critizie socitety for it's narrow views. Or if he was just describing norms of the time.

Vinicius Luz viniluz — Great read, sexism to the extreme
