Wow, that was quite an experience. I haven't read a book like this one in awhile. I must say it was different. And, it puts you into thought, too, about your own life, even if ours is not exactly like the one described in this dystopian novel. But, I quite enjoyed the story. It was sad at some point...
Dystopia - CHECKTeenagers having choice taken away from them - CHECKOne girl out to change everything - CHECKSome teen angst - CHECKA little romance - CHECKI should of loved this book, but sadly the troupes that are staples of my reading list just didn't seem to come together.

This is a really, really interesting book. For a while I couldn't pick up any future-dystopia books after The Hunger Games, but this has good elements to the story and an underlying suspense you want to get to the bottom of.I recommend it if you like dystopian YA lit. It's definitely a good read.
I think the reason we like dystopian fiction is that at the heart of it, these stories are all about stripping away the artificial and imposed to get to what is true and real, that at their best these stories are about two people fighting for something real, fighting to feel something real, fighting...
This was a pretty good book, but it has some serious problems. A lot of the events that moved the plot along were really convenient. Of course, the whole thing about "her" official becomes more clear in the end when you find out that Cassia is just part of the officer's graduate thesis, but the love...
