Congrats on book of the day! Definitely downloaded a copy.

Really glad to read this review as well - I started reading a bit of the book but, as often happens with sci-fi and fantasy, there's a lot of build-up before the real plot comes out. I'm glad to see there's something worth getting to! You really detailed the review well!

This sounds like a really good book! Just imagining a world like that is definitely a scary thing and not something that I would want for us at all. Normally I don't read books like this but this one is definitely getting added to my TBR shelf and I will be reading! Thanks for the great review!

What a great a thoughtful review. I appreciate knowing in advance when a book doesn't flow quite right because of I go in prepared it doesn't make it as difficult. The premise of this book could be a terrifying future.
Congrats Mine on a great review and congratulations to Leigh M. Lane on being named BOTD!

Good review - I like that you point out the basic story as well as listing aspects that could be improved. The storyline sounds very intriguing indeed, but I might like to read an edited version better ;)

Thank you for the in depth and thought provoking review. Dystopian fiction is near the top of my list of favs and I'm going to grab this from Amazon now. I appreciate your frankness about the read about it just sounds too good to pass up :)

Thank you for the review. I like that you were able to relate it to a movie because sometimes it helps to have something to imagine if it is something that may be hard to understand otherwise.

I loved this review. It gave me a lot of info that will help when I read it. I love dystopian books. It will help me to not get frustrated when I come across some of the pitfalls you talk about in the review.

Much appreciated! I look forward to reading this book!

Great review. It sounds like you gave the book a lot of thought and consideration. I've read only the beginning of the book, and it's terrifying because I can imagine this fictional world becoming real.

Thank you for that honest review. Dystopic stories always manage to intrigue me but it is true that when a story has multiple narrations and characters the author must provide us with enough argument to make the characters interestant.

Thanks for the review, I think i've already watched a movie similar to this or rather a tv show episode. Real scary if you think about it
