Review of 'Every Heart a Doorway' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
The good things about this book:
1. It got my friend into reading again.
2. It had a correctly portrayed asexual character
3. The basic idea was quite good.
I have no energy to write down all the things i hated about this book. But here are some bullet points:
- the black and white thinking, i.e. between teenagers against adults
- the complete lack of plot
- the complete lack of sense
- the complete lack of world building and logic
- the complete wrong message at the end of the book
- and the worst, the horrible pretentiousness of every sentence said in this whole book
Also no, my freedom stops when someone else has to restrict their freedom. If the only answer to diverse people living peacefully together is, that each and everyone needs their own world to be happy, then I do not want to have anything to do with that idea of "diversity". My answer to diversity is that everyone, whoever they are, is accepted and will be treasured, the way they are. And there will be conflict and there will be differences, but that means everyone steps back to make more room for everyone else. Working torwards a common goal. Not by preaching, not by force but by consent and understanding and a bond to each other.
