This book is what dystopians are meant to be. The darkness, the willingness of people to sacrifice others for a cause. There is still a glimmer of hope, only a small glimmer, but it's not the frilly little dystopians that have come out. I really loved this book (even possibly more than the Hunger Games...) and I can't wait to sink my teeth into the next one. This, my friends, is how books should be written.
