This book isn't focused on the rebellion, it isn't meant to be action packed as many of the other YA books are. The focus of this book is onthe people, what happened to them, who they were and who they were trying to become. There was a delightful depth to it - not everything was spelled out and you had to decide for yourself what certain actions, words or symbols meant. The story itself had some poetry to it, there were too many times to count where I closed my eyes, put the book down and ust thought 'wonderful'. What an amazing trilogy! I highly recommend it being read, Ally Condie has a uniqe and compelling voice.
