Whew!  This book was great!  The antagonist is someone you love to hate.  The protagonist starts out quiet and humble and grows exponentially through the book.  There are so many metaphors that correlate to our current society.  Anders give warnings through fiction.  
I have seen others that do not like the ending, but I think it ends perfectly with a point well made.
