Ch 25, in which Lucas makes the final leg of his journey back home to Sydney. I truly hope you've enjoyed reading this novel and would dearly love your reviews at the end.
I have never heard of We by Zamyatin. As a teacher who has taught 1984, I had to look it up. It sounds so interesting! The section about We and 1984 really made me think a bit. Specifically, the idea that nature is the only thing controlling animals. Even though humans can reason and therefore are sometimes thought to be the inferior species, they can also get caught up in other things and other people’s lives which in the end brings about their downfall. I’m a sucker for a good dystopian novel.
I love the symbolism in Leann’s words, “Today was a day for looking out rather than looking down.” Sometimes it is nice to look down at the things closest to us while other times we can learn a lot by looking out at the big picture.
Will there still be a sequel to this? I have enjoyed reading about the characters' journeys.

I enjoyed the simple ending. It’s like even though life can be “larger than life” it is the simple things that make people the happiest.
