3.5 The tone was definitely juvenile but the story is decent. It has some interesting takes on the future. In regards to the "future" slang, I find it unfortunate that she decided to call all forms of transportation "transport" and shorten it 98% of the time to "trannies" and sometimes "trans." Perhaps young adults reading this wouldn't associate those words with other things, but it jarred me every time.

This book protrayed a world like "Big Brother's" in 1984. The novel contained well-developed sympathetic characters and the plot was detailed. There are strong social implications that the reader will be aware of while reading the story. This book is recommended for young adults/adults who are interested in science fiction/romance/humor
