One of the most hard hitting books of the year which falls under Dystopian genre of books but it doesn't seem far off from current situation of life. The story telling and characters are brilliantly written. There is a sense of genuine dread in situations which keeps the story an intense page turner. The crux of this books does fall under the deep philosophical and discussions about religion and how it helps in such a broken down society.
