    I recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

    Great price for this huge book. Shipping was delayed but not too unreasonable though the book could have been packed a bit better with some bubble wrap as it tore through the very thin mailer envelope. Would recommend seller to cushion heavy books better when using thin mailer envelopes to avoid the tearing and potentially loosing books. Book is as described! Satisfied with my purchase and would buy from again if packaging was more sturdy. Thank you :)

    As described ,nice price, quickly shipped but not in a padded envelope, nor with a cardboard padding inside a regular envelope, so corners of book were free to be bumped in transit. They were not. The book looked good even with a tear at one corner of the envelope. Both the seller and the buyer were lucky.

    Thought-provoking.

    Thought-provoking novel. Themes of utopia, freedom, security, choice. I’m using this as a book study with a group of mostly young adults. Similar to Brave New World, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, but with an elementary/middle school reading level. There is also a movie version, but there are some major differences between the novel and the movie.

    Feel like this was a good book. Read it back in middle school. Watch the movie from what I remember. Does a pretty good job but can’t wait to read the book over again.

  • The book was not in the best of quality

    They write the listing making it look like it’s perfectly fine and then when I got the book it was full of highlights and broken the books spine was coming off.

    My son should review this, but the quality and price was perfect for him to read, highlight, and use for school.
