Reviews with the most likes.
Constantly ready to be disappointed but instead, except for the twaddle of the sex scene, the novel stuck together very nicely. Believable scenarios, good pacing, kept me going with no problem. If you like your dystopian novel with a “yeah, I can really see that happening” then this is for you, but it comes along with a fair bit of violence and not many avenues to Hollywood endings.
