I have one question. Why, the hell has it taken me so long to read this book? It is provocative, thoughtful and intriguing. It is also a Newbery Medal, winner.
The plot is original and has a natural flow. I am excited to read the rest of the series and strongly recommend that others do the same.
Take a chance, you won't regret it. This, is an amazing dystopian novel. One that will stay with you long after you've finished it.
