Everyone's quoting or pointing to Tincangoat's review in relation to this book. And I can absolutely see why. He pretty much nails it, so I I'll let you read his review (here).

All I'll add to this is how much the disturbing lack of transitions from time to time or place to place or, in some cases conversation to conversation irritated the crap out of me. I don't mind working a bit to get through a story, but when I'm completely popped out of the story, that's a whole other thing.

Overall, while a little silly, the concept's okay. The art is okay. The dialogue is pretty awful, but that could be put down to the translation. But enthralling? No. Thought-provoking? No.

There's a lot better out there. Go find it. ( )

This graphic novel has an interesting take (if slightly obvious) on the class system of humanity, Many might think that it is gone, but to those on the bottom it becomes painfully clear as they struggle to emulate the lives of their "betters." ( )

I'm not going to waste time re-iterating the back of the book blurb since a million reviewers have done this enough as it is.

Pros:
-Fast-paced
-Unique setting
-Post-apocalyptic pseudo art deco style
-Shockingly timely message

Cons:
-TOO fast-paced
-Characters too one-dimensional
-Lots of dangling plot hooks and details

This joins the small list of books where the film was better. ( )

French translation/Adapted into a movie and a tv show
("Le Transperceneige" in French)

I absolutely loved the movie and it was interesting seeing how different the movie was from the graphic novel. The tv show is likely similar to the book, although I cannot say for sure. (I do intend to watch it at some point because I love Daveed Diggs).

The Snowpiercer is a train that travels the earth after an environmental catastrophe causes the world to freeze over. The people on board are, presumably, the only people left alive in the entire world.
The book follows two main characters on their journey from the back of the train to the front of the train, where they realize the cars ahead get better food and treatment than the cars in the back. ( )

Silly, not very interesting. Probably just not my genre. ( )
