wow i just finished reading the book almost in one sitting and now i can finally breath, such an exciting read about a dystopian community of people who are graded with a score inked on their arms and those who score the least are thrown out of the gates to be devoured by the genetically modified abnormality of animals which in themselves are so interesting a mix but so scary! the whole concept of the system is like something from George Orwell however as in all tyrannically run systems something finally gives and even they worst of tyrants is finally over thrown!! This is one of the best dystopian series i have read, as gripping as hunger games, and i am dying to get into the second book in this series, would be great to see this turned into a film too!! well done Joel Ohman.
