This is one hell of a brilliant book. Made me want to scream out in frustration, cry in sorrow, run into the streets to tell the people that this is it; that's the world we live in. One of lies, of manipulation, of racism even (although for once, it's not about skin colour, it is still the very same discrimination that is showed through this book). Don't you see it? The parallels between our world and that of this fictional, or maybe not, book? I'm not talking only of the main core subject. I'm also talking about capitalism, which is the origin of the issue. Greed, egoism, power-hungry inhumans. Name it how you want, once again, this book proved that there's not much Humanity still lying around. Read between the fucking lines, people. Wake the fuck up.
Still, didn't earn the full five points because I felt the ending was a bit rushed. There's a change of pace I found abrupt towards the end, what with that infamous conversation that goes on, or just the way things went on.
However, once again, incredible book and story. Surprisingly, for a book that spends a long time talking about kids, this is no read for the youngsters, and it does not feel child-like at all. The author really wrote a masterpiece, that should be read by all (of age people, of course).
Also, the main character is the one who gave me the most frustration... Which is, once again, genius. She's a regular, ordinary person. The author perfectly managed to convey everyone's general lack of deep thought about the world we live in. Brilliant, brilliant. That's all I can say, that's how moved I am. I find words lacking to express what I'm feeling.
