What a strange and terrifying book. Of course, I'd heard a ton about this... but I didn't realize just how dark/ gloomy it was. It raises a lot of interesting questions and makes me a little scared about some things that are happening in our world today. 
 I definitely think it's an important book - but also be warned it's a dark one. (Especially towards the end.) Spoiler: (view spoiler)[The ending is so sad/depressing/dark. I was so hopeful that he might succeed. AHHHHH. This book feels like Hunger Games gone wrong. Or like Star Wars gone wrong. (hide spoiler)]
