Okay, so I have been wanting to read this book for around 2 and a half years, after delving into more modern classic dystopias.

(I don't know if that is right to say but I wanted to say not YA dystopia, as to me dystopia has been around so much longer and is slightly becoming tainted by the YA obsession - However saying that it won't stop me reading them and enjoying them)

So when I finally picked up this book to read for uni, I was excited but also a bit apprehensive. Apprehensive you ask? Well ...more

Another future vision, political novel about how government controls society and private lives. More science fiction brought to real life with test tube, invitro fertilization, and selection of who lives and dies. What it means to be truly human is explored. Another must read for those who know.
