Flawed

Product Information

See how easy it may be to cross from Perfection to Flawedness. See how incidious the ideas of perfection can be. See how dangerous perfectionism is.

This had one of the most brutal dystopian settings I have ever read. Can you imagine a world where you are punished for making the first ever mistake? And not just for a duration, but your entire life. This Celestine North's life. Being perfect and flawless..This is what she has become. Obviously we know this can't last long, she ends up making a mistake in public for all the world to witness and the consequences are fast and fierce. But other plans are forced into play and she ends up being set as an example. Will she be able to overcome these challenges or will it ultimately kill her?There is one scene, about 1/3 through the book, that had me quite literally shaking in fear, anger and repulsion. I have never ever experienced that from a book before. I was horrified by the Guild, by society itself, and by Crevan. I couldn't believe what was happening. I was actually astonished by the brutality of it all. But I couldn't stop reading. I read on, agape, barely believing what I was reading. It was such powerful stuff. Postoji osoba koja misliš da bi trebala biti i ona koja doista jesi. Nisam sigurna tko bih trebala biti, ali sad znam tko sam.” Soon after this incident, while Celestine is commuting on a bus, she commits an act that ultimately gets her branded as Flawed. Her crime, compassion.

Overall, this is an intriguing as well as captivating story which will make the readers anticipate till the very end. And as for me, I simply adored this book and am looking forward in reading the next book in the series. Celestines Leben scheint perfekt: Sie ist schön, bei allen beliebt und hat einen unglaublich tollen Freund. Doch dann handelt sie in einem entscheidenden Moment aus dem Bauch heraus. Und bricht damit alle Regeln. Sie könnte im Gefängnis landen oder gebrandmarkt werden - verurteilt als Fehlerhafte. Denn Fehler sind in ihrer Welt nicht erlaubt. Nichts geht über Perfektion. Auch nicht Menschlichkeit. Jetzt muss sie kämpfen - um ihre eigene Zukunft und um ihre große Liebe. . When you see somwthing, it can't be unseen. When you hear a sound, it can't be unheard. I know, deep down, that this evening I have learned something that cam never be unlearned”

I bite my lip as the tears stream. I think of little Ewan, how scared he would be, how I have bought such danger to my family.” I've noticed, either readers love or hate this book. And me? I'm just in the middle :) actually I found it overall quite interesting. I liked the characters. What I liked particularly was that the protagonist - Celestine North had to experience the difference between being "perfect" and "flawed" in a dystopian society, where it is a MUST to follow all rules and social norms. Anularmo-nos! Apagarmo-nos como indivíduos, para funcionarmos como marionetes. Passarmos de humanos, a robots obedientes!... mi se da je u jednom trenutku i sama Cecelia osjetila zasićenje, ako ništa drugo, ono žanrovsko. Duologija “Nesavršeni” i “Savršeni” skok je u neistraženo područje distopijskog serijala za mlade. E sad, dok je njoj to izlazak u nepoznato, nama kao čitateljima distopija za mlade nije neka prevelika egzotika. Zapravo, lako bi se dalo argumentirati da je to žanr na svom zalasku. Stoga se postavilo pitanje, može li Cecelia Ahern napisati serijal koji bi unio svježi zrak u ovaj iscrpljeni žanr? Essa meta inatingível que nos move — que nos faz avançar sem nunca lá chegar, pois Sua Majestade a Rainha Consciência assim o dita!
