Summary: Little kid living in a community, starts to see things differently and has to make some hard choices about his future and his relationship with that community.

Things I liked:

* Short and powerful: I like it when a book delivers in a couple of hundred vs. 1000+ pages.
* Sparse descriptions: reminds me a bit of the glass bead game and Kafke's 'The Trial' I like the style as I find myself focusing more on what is written and why. With more flowery prose I sometimes find myself skimming.
