You'll Like It Here

I read this book in one day, but mostly because it was easy, not because it was a page-turner. (I'm in need of a good page-turner...anybody?) This was an alternate world dystopian book about a city that appears perfect until you take a closer look at it. A fairly exciting (though overdone) premise that feels rather empty here. The characters were uninteresting, which was my major problem. I found it hard to find pieces of real people in any of them (with the exception of David's inclination to use old-fashioned words and phrases, which was the most interesting thing about any of the characters).
