I started this book on a whim, and was a little slow getting into it, mainly because the narrator is not especially likeable as a character. However, as the story went on, I wanted to know what would happen and how it would end. It was a quick and intense read, and a subsection of the dystopian genre that I hadn't yet dived into but had potential to be really interesting. Descriptions of the logic of this world felt glossed over in a way that didn't serve the story (i.e. Is the ticketing system just in this one country? Why was it implemented in the first place?) and made for an unsatisfying ending.
