At the suggestion of my friend Ann, who shares my love of YA and books
about dystopian society and the conversations they evoke I started this
trilogy.
On Sunday I finished this book and ran out and got books 2 and 3.
But
about this book specifically, I was very impressed. The writing was
well done, the pace was excellent and the amount of tension was awful in
the best possible way. The characters felt 3-demensional. They were all
flawed but the struggle between the flaws and weakness and the desire
to do or be better felt real. In the cases where the character wasn't
conflicted but just not a nice person, the effect was chilling (Eric).
While
the page count was not skimpy, the read was fast. One of the best
compliments I feel I can pay a book is that when the hundreds (over 500
in this case) of pages are done and I feel like I just started and want
more.
