Wow, just... WOW! I don't even know where to begin. This is such a good book, and it's scary to think that our world can turn into something like this where literally every aspect of your life is chosen for you. I loved EVERY character!

Definitely a must read for distopian lovers :)

Loved. End of story.
Having the choice to choose what you wanted was not allowed. The choice of what you wore, who you married, what you ate, your job, exercise amounts, what you read or listened to, to when you would die was never an option for them. But Cassia Reyes.

It sucked me in!! I had to download the next one immediately. It's nice to have another dystopian trilogy without as much violence so I can recommend it to my 5th and 6th graders.

Like many reviewers here, the gorgeous cover pulled me in. I've had quite a few students say they kind of, sort of liked the book but that it was slow. Still, I had to read it.
Personally, I enjoyed the book very much. The Society fascinated me and the energy and spirit of Cassia inspired me as well. The concept of choices and being led to believe that your life is ideal when you don't have to make them is curious. How many times have we all felt that way when we were overwhelmed and exasperate ...more
