I have mixed feeling about this book. The characters at first are all dry and the kind of seems too normal to be a dystopian. A boring start does not mean a dull ending. By the end of the book I was hooked on the main character(Jonas) and his plan to save his community. This book was an overall interesting read, with some thought provoking ideas.
