This novel was a surprisingly fun read. The book has been favorably compared to the Hunger Games and had been a best seller in Teen Fiction for some time before I picked it up, however I had also been told it was really about a teen girl who can't make up her mind about who she wants to date, and I would have to say that ultimately it is about that. 
 The book is part of a series, but I was told that the story doesn't go anywhere fun after this so I was satisfied with just this book. Ally Condie somehow managed to turn a young girl's indecisiveness over two boys into a political, dystopic thriller and I thought that was very impressive.
