I found this book very disturbing at first. I hated the idea of women and girls being subjected to this kind of torture. My heart went out to the mothers who were helpless raising their girls.

I also got mad with the eldest son and the way he was behaving. I loved the fact that there was a secret society of men rebelling in secret with their triple blinks and thank goodness for them.

To be fair I got a bit bored during the last section of the novel when they were in the lab and it became clear there were three teams working on different serums. And why oh why kill Patrick??? By getting rid of him it made Jean's decision to leave all the more easier, a bit too convenient of an ending for me.

Definitely a different sort of novel and very impressive the author to think up something quite so harrowing, fair play to her.
