This one was a downright weird take on vampires. Interesting, but weird...
Everyone believes in werewolves? Of course they do. It would be hard not to believe in yourself! :-p

The very worst thing about this book is the way it ends. We’re left not quite knowing whether Jonas makes it. Maybe he’s hallucinating? Maybe he’s not, we don’t actually know.
The very best thing about this book is the world, the details, the story! Everything! I can’t think of anything, other than the ending, that I don’t like about this book. And of course, since this is actually just the first in a trilogy (which I wasn’t aware of until a few years ago even though I had read the second book), the ending is excusable. :-D I think this was the first dystopian book that I ever read, and I’m glad for that because I truly enjoy the genre.

The very worst thing about this book is the way Matt, and a few other characters, speak. I realize that their manner of speaking and their behavior is supposed to be indicative of their upbringing and help show just how different their area of the village is from the main section – or the “good” section, to use the term lightly, but it’s still annoying to read.
The very best thing about this book is how different it is from “The Giver” and how similar at the same time. This world is less repressed, but is no less cold and uncaring. It’s unfortunate that it’s representative of what our world could be.
