My thoughts on this book are a bit... strange I think. Mostly because I really enjoyed the message of this book, though I think historically the message was interpreted a bit differently than what I got, but that happens all the time, perspective matters people! People will see what they want so yeah. 
 Anyway, I really enjoyed the message of the book but I realized about halfway (give or take a few pages) that I really didn't care about any of the characters. When I say care I mean I wasn't invested in their future, what would happen to them, if they got what they wanted, and personally that made the book not only hard to finish, but hard to read. I would fall asleep or need to distract myself because I would get really sleepy haha. I need to be invested in the characters in order to be invested in reading a book and because this didn't have that, I couldn't rate it a 4. 
 So I say if you are interested in reading this, see it less like a story and more like a study. I think the points it makes about society are pretty great and still very relevant so for that alone I would recommend it.
