While not a perfect book, this was incredibly thought provoking and engaging. I remember watching the Meryl Streep and Robert Redford film Out of Africa when I was a teenager. In it there was a line that has stuck with me all this time: "The world is round so we can never see too far ahead." This novel turns that idea on its head allowing everyone to see exactly when they will die (if they choose to look in their box). Naturally, chaos ensues. I've been thinking about the moral questions this book stirred up for me ever since I finished it.
