  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.5

Somewhere between 3-4 stars. I can't really think of anything monumental to say about it - the characters and plot were okay, the ending was a shock, the premise was deeply troubling. The government conspiracy and propaganda angle was super compelling and realistic (in a broad sense). Whether it was the best book I've ever read or not, I can tell it will linger in my thoughts for years to come.
