@Susy
I liked it - had a hard time putting it down. Not sure if that was that I loved the story or if I needed closure - there was definitely both aspects to it. Absolutely food for thought and a bit scary relative to our world today.
I think we're going to see the movie this weekend.

Thanks Kathi, the movie is only coming out may 11th here in Holland, but I don't think I'll manage reading it before that.
