It was a terrible idea to start this series at the end of the semester.
Finally got around to reading this one after hearing such great things about it. Definitely was not disappointed. Couldn't put this book down. Finished it in one day. It is a really well written young adult book that is enjoyable just as much for adults. The main female character is a total kick butt female. Loved her and the beginnings of her rebellion in a dystopian society. Can't wait to read the rest of the series. Highly recommend this book to anyone.
