I will start with I really did enjoy the book. It was well written and descriptive.

My only issue- and it may have been because I had just watched it a few weeks before- but it is pretty much the book version of M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village" movie. The "danger" was different. And how leadership "controlled" them was a bit different. But it was pretty much the same, just with different details.

If you haven't seen the movie, it is a great book. If you like the book, you should watch the movie.
