A lot of things that drove me crazy about this book were definitely intentional, stylistic choices. I hated the all caps, the limited first person narration and the way the sentences were almost child-like. That being said, I think all these things matched the theme and added to the dystopian level creepiness. Overall it was well-written and an interesting critique on society.
