Mixed feeling about this book. I know it is for YA but still. I liked the idea of the book but I thought it could have been presented better.

This was not Gothic horror as I rather expected from the cover, but a fairly standard dystopian tale of a country where all adults are given Ichor, a drug which destroys dreams, imagination, and initiative. The setting will probably seem more interesting to younger readers who aren't already familia...
