If you like the Hunger Games, you will like this book. Strong female lead, interesting sci fi future premise and nice twists and turns and development along the way. Throw in some live attraction and violence and you have a page turner.

The similarities to The Hunger Games made me want to give this 2 stars. I don't think it's better, either. It was a good story but I can't help but feel like Veronica Roth ripped off Suzanne Collins...that said - it was good. Will I read the 2nd book...probably not. ...more
