Not a bad book, but definitely not my usual taste. I can see why it's such a popular teen dystopian novel, though.
Personally, I found the characters mildly irritating and lacking the logic and intelligence older teenagers would usually have especially since they're supposed to be super smart kids .
Also, I found the descriptions of expressions and emotions a little unfitting at times - e.g. character A says something a little stupid; chacter B looks at them with disgust.
Overall, not awful by any means, but I was feeling very ready for the book to end from about 75% of the way through.
