Dear Pure, welcome to my favourites. 
 In the past month, I had almost lost hope since I couldn't seem to find a young-adult novel that could hold my interest for more than a couple of chapters. This is the living printed proof that the problem was in the books I'd picked and not in my mood. This is also the printed proof that good dystopian novels are still out there, hidden between the thousands of scripts that get published everyday. 
 So. First thing you need to know about the heroine? She's got a the head of a doll in place of her hand. See, I admire an author who's got the courage to create a so-blatantly imperfect main character. Because it's way easier writing about an antisocial, geeky teenager (that still gets the boy) than about a deeply scarred young woman that is so tempted by the comforts the evil side offers that she would almost betray everything she's ever believed in, and that still manages, thanks to her amazing inner strength, to make the right choice. 
 The world building was pretty good, and even though the post-apocalyptic scenario was nothing I hadn't already seen before, it still surprised me a couple of times. One big niggling doubt I've got since the beginning of the book, though, is why no character has fused with their clothes. 
 I loved how Baggott built the Dome and its organization, it was just the right level of psycho and right level of utopian heaven. 
 The principal characters were all deep and original and surprising and everything you would expect from people who survived the end of the world they knew. The "minor" villain, Ingership, is so awesome I can hardly begin to describe him. He's so blind and so corrupted you can't help but hate him and pity his poor wife. Another fantastic feature of the book was El Capitan with his brother Helmud, a character so strange and yet so common to confuse even the most attentive reader. 
 Everything considered, Pure is a great dystopian read, one I recommend to the lovers of the genre and the non-lovers, too. I'll make sure to keep my eyes open for news of the sequel.
