I haven't seen the tv show. I've only seen one short clip of a character saying

they wanted to go outside / they're lying to us

.
Really enjoyed the writing style and the narration. 

Loved the feeling of tension created through

POV characters getting murdered, made you feel like anything could happen to any of the characters! Really made the 2 fake-out deaths super effective!

I also really enjoyed the inclusion of an unexpected theme

(romance)

.

The only thing I didn't love was that part of the story didn't make sense to me when I thought more about it

like I don't get why the deepdowners were so keen on immediate revolution

I rarely read books that are over 300 pages, but this book drew me in at the first sentence and kept me interested down to the last sentence of the last page! I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, and the writing style is pretty good too.

I would recommend this to those of you who like sci-fis that aren't heavy handed with technical jargon and dystopians that aren't horrendously dark/graphic.

Rereading this and loving it just as much as the first time. It brings forth all the emotions in a world that at first seems different from our own but ends up with many parallels both inspiring and haunting. Well written and immersive. 

The ending might be a little pat, but the journey to get there is so deftly traveled that I honestly don't know that it matters how the story ends.
