This is one of my favorite books. It is an original near perfect dystopian novel. Very deep in its details and gut wrenching in its reality. While ultimately this book is about a possible dystopian future of control and is promoting the reader to consider challenging the status quo, there is also a genuine love story that peaks the readers interest and feels almost innocent in then context and setting of the story.
