This is the best book I have read in at least a year. To be fair, I haven't read too many books in that time, but this book is awesome. It has re-sparked my passion for reading like no other recently read book has done.
I really enjoyed the mosaic style of the book. This is the first time I've ever read a book like that where there are no recurring perspectives. It took a little getting used to in the beginning, but I am all for it now. For some of the perspectives, I even found myself wanting more of them (like Nina Amand, the former Analog child who was adopted).
I would definitely recommend anyone read this book, even if they aren't typical fans of dystopian or sci-fi.
