Huge fan of Dystopian fiction . From page one - (as I prefer it) I was there with Eve and through every step of her journey I was excited ,happy , sad and devastated with her. Fast paced page turner.Characters are indeed exciting. The writing clean and precise, and overall wonderfully executed. Vivid and creative. The ending - I loved the ending , heartbreaking leaving the reader craving for more. I cannot wait for the follow up - ONCE
What I loved most of all about the book is that the situations were very realistic to the world where Eve finds herself in - not all books have that, sometimes reading and I think to myself - this is a bit toooo perfect or to grabbing on fantasy for the reality of the book.
Must be in my top 5 for 2011/2012 reads.
