3.0

I am not sure about this book. I found it quite boring at places as the descriptions of the surroundings seemed endless and quite interesting at others. It sure offers some very serious things to think about human nature, but the lack of information about how long a period of time the described events cover and some things that are unrealistic make it unconvincing. 
I've seen a few reviews that people read this book during their school years; I would never, ever, ever let a child read.
