This book was repulsive, and I loved it. This is the most dehumanizing, political and moral discussion filled  book I had ever read. It honestly just had a great concept, since the start, but I wan't expecting to be thrown totally into the bussiness, I was just expecting it to be more on the side. Honestly, my bad because it had been forever since I had read the synopsis, so that was on me. But I think part of the love was because I went kind of blind, it was the shock that made me love it. This is a book you have to know nothing about. There were times I had to stop because I didn't know if I was queasy because I was reading on the bus or because I was reading this book, and it was great. Honestly I'm glad I read this in English because as a native Spanish speaker I JUST KNOW, that when I'm (inevitably, because I loved this) gonna read it again in Spanish, I'm gonna get even more repulsed. And I can't wait 5/5
