Having read quite a few dystopian books, I found this one to be quite a good one. It's much more metaphorical than others though has a few plot holes you have to look past and accept it's all a metaphor. I personally was a bit disappointed with the end however from the way the book was written it was really on the only way it was going to end. Definetly happy I read it, and the book within a book was quite a nice device, highly recommend it if it's you're genre niche, it's not one I plan to read again though as it's definitely a slow reflective read
