This book started off interesting, but it felt like it never got off its feet. The whole book felt like the introduction to the story. There was little that made the characters really interesting. I liked the explanation about the way society was built, but sadly it didn't make up for the fact that absolutely nothing happened. 

I get that this book was supposed to show how lives get ruined by these laws, but I still want to find a story or something to care about and that was not there for me.
