I have to say that this book was really an amazing read. I’m a huge fan of the dystopian genre, so when I found out this book was actually utopian I wanted to see how different the genre is, and more importantly how effective it can be.

I thought this book was incredible, and satirised all “problems” we have in society, as the utopian genre solves those problems, yet let’s the reader question if they are made better or worse. One example is that everyone is made scientifically through test tubes, solving the issue of fertility rates. However, as many people share the same look and surnames, having been created from the same embryo, is the issue of individualism caused by this conclusion?

It is definitely worth the read, and I would strongly suggest that lovers of both utopian and dystopian genres read this book, as it allows you to personally interpret the issues for yourself.
