I couldn't really get into this book right away--usually this happens in dystopias because it's sometimes hard to imagine certain things. Anyway, the theme that the book seemed to mention a lot--about feeling alive--made me seriously question what made me feel "alive". I don't want to be like Mildred, who mindlessly consumes her media entertainment and can't make her own decisions, but in a way, I feel like I am :/ I kind of wished she had committed suicide in the beginning, but the book wouldn't have the same effect if she had. (I just don't like her) 
 *Spoiler* Is it too mean to say that she got what she had coming at the end?
