I wish I had read this book when I was in middle school. I wish I had read it in high school, college, as a young adult. I'm glad that I've read it now. 

This book will sit with me for a long time, and I recommend it to anyone who yearns for a better world, those who aren't afraid of having their beliefs challenged, and to folks who don't know about how much work actually needs to be done to change society for the better.

Most of all, I would recommend this book to people who are perfectly comfortable in their world today.

Heck, I think everyone should pick up this book. I hope it will end up on school reading lists.

The Free People's Village is very well written, with a great balance of character development, personal stories, and big stakes in the plot. I tore through it quickly, eager to know what happens next. With all of my bookmarks, I know that I'll be rereading it again soon.
