5.0
Leaves you with an uneasy sense of loneliness and unanswered questions. If you like plots that are tied together in a neat bow by the end, this book is not for you, but if you like books that make you think about life in a new way and use the first person perfectly so you only ever know as much as the character, you’ll love it. Great dystopian novel.
