What an incredible book! It managed to live up to and even exceed my expectations which is impressive with a hyped book. This was everything a dystopia book should be.

For some reason, I have to open this book up four times before I started reading it. I finally started the book as I had joined in on a Buddy Read.

I don't know why it took me so long to start this book but I wish it had not.

I enjoyed the book greatly. The characters are well written. I the plot is wonderful and great to discuss and debate with anyone.
I definitely recommend this book to all to read and will be reading the next book soon (hopefully). ...more
