I was expecting a dystopian novel and while this was essentially dystopian, this book was such a light read; possibly too causally written for my life. I had a sense that the author was causally throwing facts in as if it was common knowledge and expected the reader to already know what was happening. While it is possibly a good way to reveal this world, i have a sense that he wasn't revealing anything and leaving the reader with too many questions. This sort of narrative is the biggest flaw for me in this book. There really isn't anything that keeps the book from moving apart from a need to know what is actually happening and when you find out whats happening it really isn't fulfilling and you are left with wanting to know more.
