This book was weird. The main character, Equality 7-2521, is part of a society where everyone thinks of themselves as "we" or "they" never "I" or "me", and they see themselves as free yet restrictions are around every corner. You can't choose your job, you can't have any personality basically, you can't have friends or family, you can't interact with the opposite sex unless it's "mating day". Yeah, whoo for freedom. 
 The thing that always amazes me about older books is that they have great points to them and all that, like this one with individuality and freedom, but the plotlines are crap. Honestly, some of the books published way back when probably wouldn't be today. Which is all right and good because (most) authors nowadays have developed enough so that they can get their messages out there while still making me interested in the story at hand. I'll tell you, if this wasn't required reading I wouldn't have finished it (despite the fact it was less than 100 pages). Equality 7-2521/Unconquered/whatever-the-fuck-the-narrator's-name-is was an extremely dull and 2-dimentional character. And his romance with Liberty-3000/Golden One or whatever had zero development. Basically they just saw one another every day and thought We likes them. Sex.. I know the characters wasn't the point of the book, but they're a pretty important aspect, and I still don't feel like I know any of the characters at all. 
 So there you go. 2 stars. One more book to go this summer, let's hope it's better..
