I didn't hate this book, but it needed more plot and character development. The ending was not satisfying and I didn't have the emotional response I was expecting with this kind of subject matter. There were a lot of jumps forward and backward in time that could have been smoother and were confusing at times, so it was difficult to tell how much time had passed between some events. I also found myself comparing this to A List of Cages, which is similar in some ways, but better developed and written better.
