Thoughts On "We"

On the basis of whether or not I like the book "We," my answer is yes and no.  I enjoyed the novels use of math and formulas to explain the society and D-503's feelings.  Such as D-503's use of the velocity of an aero to explain crime, or how the square root of -1 is a symbol for how D-503 feels about I-330.  In this regard I found the work intriguing because I can understand the math and although I do not necessarily agree I see where D-503 is coming from.  However, in certain aspects I dislike this novel.  For example, at times I found the story difficult to follow because of D-503's erratic emotions and cut off sentences.  I dislike the use syntax in this piece because D-503 randomly stops and starts sentences, confusing the reader.  Another reason that this novel is not my favorite is based on certain plot elements.  Personally, I prefer a story of triumph.  While I understand that D-503 receiving the operation is an important plot element and adds great significance to the work, I would not have chosen this as an ending if I were the author.  In addition to this, I also dislike a few key things in the relationship between D-503 and I-330.  Because D-503 is experiencing emotional turmoil he acts extremely controlling over I-330.  This controlling nature causes me to have an aversion to the character of D-503.  Overall, my dislike of particular things in the novel did not outweigh my understanding of the novel's literary merit, thus as a whole I enjoyed the work.
