Okay everybody, before you get your pitchforks and hunt me down listen to my reasons. I love the dystopian kind of theme and this was just spot on with the images I kind of think of when I think 'dystopian.' The book was amazingly written and everything was in perfect sequence, but I just couldn't get into it. The author is extremely talented and is good at the visuals, but I think she needs to work on conjuring emotions a bit more. When people die in book that I really like I usually have a bit of waterworks going, but in this book there was none. Nada. Zip. Zero. I think Four (Tobias) is the freaking best person ever. Oh. And by the way, I so called it in like chapter 6. Dude. Their relationship isn't perfect and I LOVED IT!!! "I might be in love with you," He says smiling a little, "but I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you." Best. Line. Ever. (Seriously. Love it.) But the thing was, Four was a super cold brained jerk in the beginning. And, I don't know, sarcasm. I just love it guys. Love it. "I thought I would only have trouble with the Candor asking questions," he says coldly, "Now I've got Stiffs too?" "It must be because you're so approachable." I say flatly. "You know. Like a bed of nails." So yeah. three and a half stars.

This is a great book to read. because the chapters end in cliff hangars, you want to read more and more! this is a young adult fiction book about the future and how all of the people live.
