It was a good book, I’ll give it that. It made me reflect on my own life, which is always a good thing, in my opinion. I just didn’t care all that much about the characters, other than the boy and he didn’t end up playing that much of a role in the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dystopia and living in the present. I didn’t connect much with the characters, but I didn’t dislike any of them either. It was a good book, just not a great one.

A bit disappointed by the ending, but *wow* is this a ride! The first hundred-ish pages of this is the most exciting read I’ve experienced in a while

You ever read one of those books that you make you think, "What the hell did I just read?" Yeah, this is one of those – but in the best possible way. Even after reading the description I had no idea what to expect. This book made me all sorts of uncomfortable, but in a way that was enjoyable...? This is a very gritty, dark and bizarre look at what it means to be human. I highly recommend any sci-fi reader pick up this up!
