I really like this book. Obviously there are a few features that I didn't like, the 'romance' between Elder and Amy is a bit disconnected and didn't really make sense at some points.
However, apart from that, I thought that the moral and ethical points that are prominent in the book are very interesting. I have studied philosophy and ethics for four years now and I have been able to relate what I have learnt in many aspects of my course to the topics in the book.
