Cool premise, lots of thought-provoking ideas. Not plot heavy or character heavy, and has a slightly disjoint, allegorical feel.

Narratively not as strong as Liu's famous trilogy, the sociological thought-experiment contained in this book is stimulating.

At first it was a fun concept and very interesting to read the authors view on this post apacolyptic era with only children, but later on it became too longwinding, highly detailed and I became less and less interested in what would happen.
