REVIEW
The problem with Dystopian books for me is a number of problems. They can be either be flawed in their technology, not be scientific enough, or be so far fetched that it makes me disbelieve. I've read a number of dystopian science fiction to clearly find out what I like to read and what I don't. 
With Partials, I didn't have a problem with any of these points. One of my favourite lessons in school was science, but that's not to say I'm an Einstein in the subject. Partials gives the science behind the technology, the air born plague, the inability for babies to survive and even the machine Partials themselves. 
While maintaining this level of believability, the author Dan Wells didn't smother the plot with the technical jargon. It made it simple for everyone to follow. And if science isn't your bag, there is plenty of action, double-cross and violence to suit different tastes. 
I managed to read this in a day, and it completely wiped me out. In a very good way.
