4.0

I had a feeling I'd love this book and I really did. The only reason it's 4 stars rather than 5 is because I did find it to (ironically) be quite sexist towards men. I understand that the women in the book are actively being oppressed by men, but the main character seems to also have serious perceptions. Men shouldn't rule the world, but they should also be manly and be ready to fight people to protect others? 

I enjoyed the plot, and I enjoyed the characters. There were definitely some elements that the author could have done with checking with medical / scientific professionals before writing about them though (e.g. a catheter isn't something that goes into your veins, it is what goes into your bladder).
